Last Child Rights update of the summer
This month our?President Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca participated in a side event to the Informal EPSCO Council?organised by Plataforma del Tercer Sector, the Spanish Ministry of Social Rights and Agenda 2030 and Social Platform. During her speech, she highlighted how key?child participation?is when it comes to policy development and implementation.
In June, we had the pleasure to?welcome to Brussels the Eurochild Children’s Council?who had the opportunity to?meet and exchange with President Roberta Metsola and different Members of the European Parliament.?They discussed the importance for policymakers to listen to children's voices and address challenges affecting them at European and Member States levels.
We are happy to share that European Commission's?DG JUST received the Special Award?of the European Ombudsman Award for Good Administration 2023 for excellence in diversity and inclusion while working with children on the EU strategy on the rights of the child.?Eurochild sees the award as a recognition of the work done with children and the Commission to produce a new EU strategy on the rights of the child.
Last but not least, we would like to take the opportunity to wish you a wonderful summer break. To do so in the best way, we prepared a Eurochild's Summer?Crossword.
