Young Ambassadors conclude meeting on child poverty

The time has come to listen to children!
Nothing for children without listening to children. Children themselves are part of the solution not part of the problem.
Three priority areas where identified by the 33 children and young people aged 10 to 18 from nine different countries who, from 11 to 16 July, gathered in Brussels to discuss how children experience poverty and social exclusion. The three key messages agreed upon are: listen to children, social inclusion and equality in access to education, transport, health and other services.
“Adults cannot decide what is in the best interest of children without also asking children themselves what they think”, says Jana Hainsworth, Eurochild Secretary General. “Eurochild’s children’s meeting in Brussels is a small but significant step in bringing their voices to the table”, she added.
