PRESS RELEASE
Just a few
days before the European Commission published its (hopefully) first package on
the Social Pillar of the European Union, parents from
18 different European countries gathered in Paphos, Cyprus for the conference
of EPA (European Parents’ Association) on
‘A More Socially Just Europe for Children and Parents?!’ on 22-24 April. The
event was the opportunity to launch a major EPA position paper on The Best Interest of the Young Child, and participants also built their
vision of a socially just Europe in interactive plenary and workshop sessions.
The Best
Interest of the Young Child paper on early childhood education needs and
provisions from a parents’ perspective is a result of a Europe-wide
consultation and based on the widest possible consensus of national parents’
association from Nordic to Southern countries.
