The International Union of Architects (UIA) was founded in 1948 to unite the architects of the world, without regard to nationality, race, religion, or architectural school of thought, within a federation of national organisations.
A non-governmental and democratically structured body, representing the key professional organisations of architects in 124 countries and territories, the UIA represents more than 1,300,000 architects worldwide.
The aim of the UIA is to enable architects to discuss ideas and concepts, share their experiences, broaden their knowledge, and learn from their differences in order to play a better part in the improvement of the environment and the quality of people’s lives.
The UIA operates through three Commissions – Architectural Education, Professional Practice and International Competitions – and twenty-one global or regional Work Programmes grouped under six general themes: Sustainability and Renewable Energy Sources; Society; Urban Planning; Habitat; Cultural Identity; and Specific Facilities
The Architecture & Children Work Programme is a global programme, which falls within the theme "Society".
