The 30th anniversary of the adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, and the 10th anniversary of the entry into force of the European Charter for Fundamental Rights, which constitute the basis for the EU legal acquis on the rights of the child were the background for the exchange of thoughts, good practices and ideas on how to enhance the protection and promotion of the rights of the child in the EU.

The Forum also looked at three following topics, which will (continue to) be a priority for the Commission’s work, among others: 1) The protection of children in migration, 2) Children's rights in the ever-changing digital world, and 3) Children and young people’s participation in the EU political and democratic life. 

More information, the videos and the report (currently in preparation) from the Forum are available on the conference website.
