Societal shocks such as economic turndowns, pandemics and political upheavals significantly impact communities and can especially affect children. In this workshop, we bring together relevant policymakers, practitioners and other key stakeholders and share the latest academic insights in how support for children can be organized, especially in turbulent times.
The workshop builds on the ROBUST project which collected insights from across Europe. During the session, we will explore the pandemic’s impact on children from an international and European perspective and examine the role of (e.g.) multilevel governance in shaping these responses. Through concrete examples and case studies from different countries, we then connect insights from the international level to local realities. In doing so, we go beyond reflecting on the past as we focus on forward-looking strategies.
Ultimately, this session will equip participants with actionable knowledge and foster collaboration among European stakeholders. The ultimate goal is to enhance preparedness for future turbulence.
Join us on May 21st, onsite at the EPHA office (49-51 Rue de Trèves, 1040 Brussels) or online.
