As the first forum since the adoption of the EU Strategy on the rights of the child in March 2021, it will give the opportunity of monitoring and reporting on progress made under the EU Strategy, while exchanging on new developments and initiatives. A special focus will be given to child participation, children in conflicts, prevention from violence, with a specific attention to consult on integrated child protection. The impact on children’s rights of the Russian aggression against Ukraine, and the EU child protection response will also be discussed.

This three-afternoon conference features high-level sessions and interactive workshops. Child participation is central in this Forum, with children speaking out as speakers and participants. Other participants include national authorities and policymakers, judicial and child protection practitioners, ombudspersons for children, independent experts, international and non-governmental organisations, academics, EU institutions and agencies.
