The World’s Children’s Prize

The WCP programmes

Investor AB, a Nordic-based industrial holding company and Pia Anderberg are new principal owners of SamSari, a Stockholm based Change Agency. As a result of the acquisition, SamSari now belongs to Investor’s business area Operating Investments. To provide our customer with a broader palette of services that reach entire organizations, SamSari has joined forces with the company ACT. Together, SamSari and ACT have formed the ACT Group.

The ACT Group makes strategy happen. We challenge and develop companies and individuals to be able to top perform. To stay successful in a world in constant transition, businesses must be able to change at a rate that outpaces the rate of change in the world around them. As we work together with our clients to address critical business issues, we do so with the belief that the competence, drive and willingness to make key changes already exists within the organization. Our mission is to energize and facilitate change by challenging and developing leaders, teams and individuals to realize their full potential. We do so by providing the methods, tools and solutions organizations need to implement and adapt to new ideas and new ways of working.

How we can make a difference

SamSari is going to support The World’s Children’s Prize, which aims to contribute towards a more humane world. Among the many children who learn about their rights and democracy through the World’s Children’s Prize are millions of children whose own rights have been violated. They include former child soldiers, debt slaves and street children, children who have lost their parents to AIDS, genocide or the tsunami, and children who live in dictatorships. Many of them didn’t even know that they had rights before they got involved in the program. The prize magazine, The Globe, and the website, worldschildrensprize.org, are both published in 10 languages and read by participants all over the world. The magazine is even smuggled into villages in the Burmese dictatorship, where children learn about their rights and organize their own democratic vote.

The WCP programmes include:

An educational process built on the principle of “by children for children” promoting children’s rights, democracy, protection of the environment and global friendship.
The recognition of people who have done outstanding work for children whose rights have been violated. They inspire children throughout the world.
Support for some of the world’s most vulnerable children by granting prize sums to the individuals and organizations which we recognize in order to enable them to further their work.
