Unaccompanied minors guardianship systems compared: join the “GUIDE Guardianship Talks” webinar series
Guardians play a crucial role in protecting unaccompanied children across Europe, yet the systems supporting them vary widely between countries. So how can we strengthen these protection systems?
Together with national authorities and stakeholders – who will share their experiences – we will explore protection systems in EU, understand the challenges and think collectively of recommendations and solutions.
We will do this through a series of five webinars as part of GUIDE, a European initiative aimed to ensure proper management of guardianship and care for unaccompanied minors and offer support to both professional and volunteer figures involved in this, in order to assist them and create a network among them.
All 5 webinars will be held in English with simultaneous translation in Bulgarian, Greek, Italian, Slovakian, and Polish.
You can join us for one webinar or all of them! All you need to do is register once.
