Eurochild advocates for children’s rights and wellbeing by influencing EU policy making and funding in Europe.

We work in synergy with our membership to leverage EU influence at national level. We support civil society capacity by creating spaces for mutual learning, exchange of practice and research. Partnerships are key to our work. We lead and contribute to several platforms which can amplify our impact. We develop and manage joint campaigns and projects on key thematic priorities.
