Date: 3 July, 8-10.45am Irish CET
Region: Europe
Details:
The cumulative impact of the Covid-19 pandemic is having major implications for a generation of children and young people across Europe. This project worked to ensure that the pandemic recovery would be guided by:
- Improving understanding of the impact of Covid-19 on activities and services for children and young people, especially those disproportionately affected by measures.
- Raising awareness on how decisions about children’s rights were made and the role of child/youth participation and local structures played during emergency times.
- Identifying best practice in responding to children’s needs during the pandemic and how child rights impact assessments are used throughout Europe.
This conference aims to share with a wide audience – both Irish and European – about the importance of taking children’s views and rights into consideration when designing public policies. It will share learnings from the Building Children’s Futures project, a collaborative EU-funded initiative involving leading Irish organisations working with and for children, including Children’s Rights Alliance, the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration, and Youth; Children and Young People's Services Committees - Tusla the Child and Family Agency in Ireland; UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre; Foróige; and Eurochild.
