Since the year 2000, 40,6 million children have learnt about their rights and democracy through the World&rsquo;s Children&rsquo;s Prize (WCP) program &ndash; the world&rsquo;s largest youth education initiative on human rights and democracy. They have been empowered to demand respect for their rights, and become change agents in their own communities and in their countries. Three global legends have got behind the WCP as patrons: Nelson Mandela, Malala Yousafzai, and Xanana Gusm&atilde;o. Other patrons include H.M. Queen Silvia of Sweden, Gra&ccedil;a Machel, and Desmond Tutu.<br />
