structures for children’s participation
3. Children & young people share their views at Eurochild’s annual conference on how child & youth participation can be promoted
and implemented and how this contributes to better policy outcomes.
4. Children & young people with different socio-cultural background share experiences & spread agreed messages to other youth in their home countries
