On 7 December Katarina Ivanković Knežević, Director for Social Rights and Inclusion at the European Commission, met with participants of the Reaching In project to learn about their recommendations on increasing the impact that marginalised children have on public decision-making at local, national level and European levels.

In cooperation with the University of Central Lancashire and Universitat de Barcelona, Eurochild project reached out to children, focusing in particular on Roma, children living in alternative care and migrant children.

The project aimed at discussing how to better involve children in the implementation of the Child Guarantee and how to improve child participation in general.

Check-out the recommendations of the " Reching In" project.

In the course of the project child-friendly version of the Child Guarantee and the Child Guarantee game were developed with the children participating in the project.
