Social Party of the Child
Maria Montessori introduced the Social Party of the Child in 1937. She argued that children are not merely future citizens, they are citizens of the world whose needs, rights, and voices must be recognized and represented.
The vision was simple but powerful: the child is the builder of humanity, and the future of society depends on how we support and include children in the present. Her conviction that children are citizens with rights later found its way into international law with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Joournals builds on Maria Montessori’s legacy by creating a global structure where children and youth are not only heard, but actively collaborate, take initiative, and contribute across environments, countries, and cultures.

Student Council
Joournals is a community for all, with student councils serving as connection points for children and young people to connect and engage nationally and internationally.
National councils bring children and young people together within their countries, while international collaboration between councils helps build a connected global Montessori community.
