History of Eurochild

Eurochild AISBL has evolved from the former European Forum for Child Welfare (EFCW). EFCW was a coalition of non gouvernemental organisations which aimed at solving the problems of children and young people in Europe. It was the European branch of the IFCW (International Forum for Child Welfare / Forum International pour la Protection de l'Enfance) and its work was underpinned by the principles of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). The founding members of Eurochild were members of the dissolved EFCW.

Eurochild AISBL had its inaugural meeting in March 2004. Since then, it has organised 3 annual conferences (in 2004, 2005 and 2006), 2 Receptions in the European Parliament (in 2005 & 2006) with children at risk of social exclusion as well as several seminars and work shops. For more information about them, please go to our page reporting from 'Past Activities'.
