Advancing Impact of the European Child Guarantee in Bulgaria
Peer-to-Peer Workshop, 5-7 March 2025, Sofia, BG.
This event co-organised by Eurochild and the National Network for Children will provide a platform for policymakers, civil society organisations, and individuals with lived experience to review progress, share best practices, and strategise for the future implementation of the European Child Guarantee (ECG).
The event is expected to foster enhanced collaboration between policymakers, civil society organisations (CSOs), and international bodies for the implementation of ECG.
