European Child Guarantee: From engagement to reality

The event is part of the EU Presidency of Belgium and has a dual objective:

• to give key players the opportunity to analyse the work already completed and what remains to be done to achieve the objectives set, and

• to provide coordinators with a platform to share their knowledge in the implementation of the European Child Guarantee.

The first day will be dedicated to a review of the situation, while the second day will be focused on discussions between the coordinators of the European Child Guarantee, the European Commission, and key players on the ground.

The social component — one of the priorities of the Belgian presidency

One of the priorities of the Belgian presidency of the Council of the EU is to pursue work on the social component of the European Union, by implementing the principles of the European Pillar of Social Rights. This Pillar includes 20 principles aiming to make the European Union fairer and more inclusive.

Eurofound’s Daniel Molinuevo, Research manager, Social policies research unit, is contributing to the event and presenting Eurofound’s latest research on the European Child Guarantee.
