About the Lost in Migration 2021 Edition
[See: https://missingchildreneurope.eu/lost-in-migration-conference/]
Too often children and young people are not consulted on crucial decisions that drastically impact their lives. We believe that their experience and opinions matter!
That’s why this year we are giving them a seat at the table with policy makers to drive the discussion on core issues to them on going missing, and their experiences while on the move in Europe.
In 2020, we asked young people their thoughts on the next edition of Lost in Migration and to engage their peers and the decision makers in making tangible progress on the protection of children in migration. One of the ideas they suggested was holding local hubs for a real hybrid conference.
As a result, the Lost in Migration is taking place in two parts this year!
Part one: In the course of November young people are leading local hubs across Europe (in Belgium, Germany, Greece, Italy and Malta). The aim is to connect key stakeholders to discuss the challenges faced by children in migration, drivers of them going missing, and potential solutions.
Part two: On 9 and 10 December, young newcomers will share the outcomes of the local hubs and drive discussions with high-level European and national policymakers on going missing in migration.
The conference will take place via online meetings:
9 December – 10AM-5PM (Brussels Time)
10 December – 10AM-3:30PM (Brussels Time)
