Resilience Toolkit and Child and Youth Participation Toolkit

Resilience Toolkit

This toolkit offers you a wide range of activities that strengthen resilience. When children develop skills that increase their resilience and when they can count on the necessary support from their environment, they are better able to deal with setbacks. Not only children and young people can benefit from this toolkit, the resilience of the family and the wider network in which they grow up will also increase.

The toolkit consists of two parts. The first part offers a theoretical overview of resilience, with attention to social competences, self-confidence and emotional awareness. The second part consists of a wide range of activities, which focus on resilience development at different levels. Activities can be carried out independently or as a cycle and can be part of projects and programs. Because each activity card shows the growth areas to which the activity relates, you can tailor it well to the target group. The toolkit was created through joint efforts with our partners in the Netherlands and abroad.

For whom?

The Resilience Toolkit serves as a practical guide for all organisations working with children and young people.

Child and Youth Participation Toolkit

This toolkit is the result of a joint effort with our partners to strengthen the voice and influence of children and young people in all important matters that affect their lives. It offers you comprehensive guidelines, best practices and most importantly effective tools to implement child and young people participation.

What can you expect?

The toolkit consists of two parts. The first consists of a solid theoretical framework with the legal background of child participation and Article 12 of the CRC, participation models and tools such as the Lundy Model, and child protection guidelines and practical tips, including examples for codes of conduct, consent forms and checklists.


The second part consists of a wide range of activities that you can use to involve children and young people. It starts with a roadmap with which an appropriate participation trajectory can be set out for the meaningful involvement of children at the organizational level or in the implementation of projects. Activities can be carried out independently or as a cycle and can be part of projects and programs from the design phase to the evaluation.

For whom?

The toolkit serves as a practical guide and theoretical reference for all organisations that want to meaningfully involve children and young people in their work.

Our work

Kinderpostzegels is the charity organization with and for children and stands for equal opportunities for children. Many children are 10-0 behind in life. Problems at home, poverty and loneliness prevent them from getting the best out of themselves. Together with our partners, we are committed to these children.

We believe that every child has the right to a safe place, loving attention and to go to school happily.

Safe place

Every child needs a safe place. A place where you can be yourself and where you can relax. Because only from that solid foundation can a child develop himself. A safe place gives a child superpower.

Loving atttention

Every child needs loving attention. Someone who sees and hears you, someone you can talk to and do fun things with. Because only then can a child be resilient. Loving attention gives a child superpower.

Happy to school

Every child should be able to go to school happily and needs sports, games and school supplies to be able to participate with peers. Because only then can a child be resilient. Going to school happy gives a child superpower.
