The first year of the EU Children’s Participation Platform

In 2023, the EU Children’s Participation Platform had a busy schedule of activities, including monthly meetings of their Children’s Panel, their first General Assembly meeting, and the first edition of the Platform’s quarterly newsletter (available in English). 

During a first consultation, over 1000 children and teens shared their views on how adults can better work together to keep them safe. This ran in parallel to the EU Consultation on Integrated Child Protection Services. See what the children said here: https://eu-for-children.europa.eu/feeling-safe 

Child-friendly documents produced for the General Assembly were recognised with a Clear Writing award from the Commission for excellence in external communications materials.
