Tom is a curious boy who lives at home with his family. He enjoys playing with his friends in the neighborhood and knows all of his classmates and teacher at school. Tom is inspired by all the people in his life and is curious to learn about other people in his community like the mayor or a member of parliament. To help Tom and his classmates find out about different roles in their community, the Children's International Press Centre was started to allow kids to become child journalists and interview inspiring adults around them.

moves him, and what he has achieved so far.

radio shows, movies and magazines.

about the people you met.

selection of the most inspiring adults.

‘Who Does What for children’ catalogue.

of each adult in society …

videos and interviews.
