Flagship Programme
Children's Magazine
An international children's magazine, children submit, edit, and receive it. Both digital and printed. Young contributors send in paintings, stories, comics, and other creative work; a children's editorial board helps shape each issue. A stage of their own, as makers, editors, and audience.
Open calls
Each edition of the magazine gathers work around one theme. Pick the call your work belongs to.

We're making a children's magazine made entirely by kids from around the world. The first issue is about Home. Any child, any age, any language: a drawing, story, poem or photo. A phone photo of a drawing is perfect. Send it in here, and pass it on to other parents: https://dornafoundation.org/programs/childrens-magazine
From children who have sent us work
A few of the pieces children have sent in. Every one is here because a parent or guardian said we could show it.
Editorial board
Rather help choose what gets published?
Each edition has its own board of young readers, so more kids get a turn: you apply for one theme, read and discuss the submissions for that edition, and when the next theme opens, everyone is welcome to apply again. Ages 10 and up, with a guardian's consent.
