    Have you ever joined an event where children were invited to talk, but their opinions were not seriously considered?

    This practice - described as "tokenism" by the UN Committee on the Child - is what we want to prevent.

    Through an open dialogue, we hope to help deepen the understanding of the practical aspects of children’s meaningful participation in policy-making, its challenges, and successful strategies and best practices to overcome these challenges.
