The online survey for under-18’s, made by Eurochild and Unicef, is now available in 18 languages. At the center of attention are issues related to the experience that children and young people have regarding family life, school and society, as well as Europe, human rights and migration.
Entitled Europe kids want, the survey was developed by children’s rights experts and tested on focus groups of children themselves.
Participation in the survey is open until 21 September 2018. The results will then be presented to the European Parliament on World Children’s Day, 20 November 2018, in a session in which a delegation of children will also take part. Children and young people are “important stakeholders in the future of Europe,” said Caterina Chinnici, co-chair of the European Parliament’s Intergroup for the Rights of Children. She congratulated Unicef and Eurochild “for the development of such an accessible instrument, which allows children to provide feedback on their lives today and share their hopes for the future.”
