Building a Europe for and with Children Programme (2006-2008)

The programme “Building a Europe for and with children” is being implemented further to the Third Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Council of Europe (Warsaw, May 2005). It is a response to both the mandate assigned to the Organisation to guarantee an integrated approach to promoting children’s rights and the decision to launch a three-year action programme covering the social, legal, educational and health dimensions of the various forms of violence against children.

The objective of the programme “Building a Europe for and with children” is to help decision makers and all players concerned to implement general awareness-raising, information and prevention policies with an eye to the effective respect and promotion of children’s rights in general and, in particular, of their right to protection against any form of violence.

This programme comprises two closely linked strands: the promotion of children’s rights and the action programme “Children and violence”.
