Dear Readers, In this summer edition, we will share some wonderful memories from the first ever general assembly of the EU Children’s participation platform. And just a day after the general assembly, the rights of the child team lived through more amazing moments –thanks to the European Ombudsperson who awarded our work with children on the EU Strategy on the rights of the child. There are also reminders about the ongoing consultations on the integrated child protection systems, and other opportunities for children and adults to share their voices and opinions. We wish you a nice end of the summer season.
