Attend the launch of a new children’s research report, conducted by UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre University of Galway in partnership with Foróige, and published as part of the wider ‘Building Children’s Futures: Using Children’s Rights to Recover from the Global Pandemic’ project.
The ‘Building Children’s Futures: Using Children’s Rights to Recover from the Global Pandemic’ project is funded by the EU Commission and is being led by the Children’s Rights Alliance in partnership with the Department of Children Equality Disability Integration and Youth, Tusla, Ireland’s Child and Family Agency and Children and Young People’s Services Committees (CYPSC), Eurochild, UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre University of Galway, and Foróige. Using Ireland as a case study, the project aims to document how child participation structures worked during the COVID-19 pandemic and identify best practices in COVID-19 responses in Europe. The project will explore how a child rights-based approach, utilising Child Rights Impact Assessments (CRIAs), can be embedded in decision-making in times of emergency.
The launch of this research report, taking place online via Zoom on Wednesday 28 February 2024, will feature a fantastic line up of speakers, including representatives from the project’s Children and Young People Advisory Group and Dr Danielle Kennan, Senior Researcher at UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre, University of Galway, speaking directly to findings highlighted within the report.
