Section
Event Description
10 November 2021; 13:00-15:00 CET; online
The on-line event will present key findings from data analysis carried out in 9 countries, on early childhood development.
We will highlight the need for greater attention to early childhood development, including through more investment in data collection and analysis to inform public policy, and how the European Child Guarantee can help to tackle poverty and exclusion in children’s early years.
The format will consist of short presentations, responses/reactions from EU and national perspectives, and opportunities for questions and discussion. The audience will be national and EU policy-makers, experts on early childhood and national/EU civil society organisations.
Speakers include:
- Her Excellency Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca, President of Eurochild
