On 22 November 2010, UNHCR held the inaugural Refugee Children Talent Competition in conjunction with Universal Children's day 2010.
Universal Children's Day 2010 recognises the rights of children worldwide to have a childhood of safety and with the highest possible quality of life. This right is often denied to refugee children.
There are some 19,300 refugee children in Malaysia. Due to trauma and displacement because of war and conflict, many of them are denied normal childhoods.
While in exile, they often do not have the opportunity to participate in activities enjoyed by other children their age - activities which provide essential lessons for their mental and physical well-being and development - including expressions of creativity, healthy competition, team work and play.
This inaugural Refugee Children Talent Competition was held to give refugee children this opportunity and the right to normal childhood activities like every other child.
Over 200 refugee children auditioned, and finally 15 Finalists were selected to vie for the top prize of Champion.
