Eurochild Children's Council

The Eurochild Children’s Council (ECC) is a selected group of children supported by Eurochild members from different countries around Europe. They play an advisory role in relation to Eurochild’s key advocacy priorities, governance decisions and events. The ECC has a mandate of two years.

Besides monthly meetings with the Secretariat child participation team, the ECC is represented at Eurochild management board meetings, and provides input to different projects. Additionally, the children are creating and leading their own initiatives and campaigns.
