Eurochild’s 2018 Conference is being organised under the high patronage of the President of the Republic of Croatia, Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović, in partnership with the City of Opatija.
The event will bring positive examples of how public decision-makers at local, national and European levels are respecting the right of children to participate in decisions affecting them.
The Conference will host an estimated 250-300 participants including public sector officials, politicians, children’s rights professionals and children. It is expected that a third of the participants at the Conference are under the age of 18. That includes our Eurochild Conference Young Advisory group which consists of 10 children aged 14-18, from 8 different countries. By involving this group in the planning, preparation and delivery of the conference, the Conference itself will be an example of participation in action.

Tinna Rós Steinsdóttir, Eurochild’s Child Participation Officer.
