On 24 November 2022, Fundación Cepaim is holding a “Transnational Workshop on “Migrant Children’s Transition to Adulthood” in Madrid, Spain. The workshop is organised in the framework of the multilateral project “Building

Futures, Sharing Good Practices: Migrant Children’s Transition to Adulthood” – UACFutures”, co-funded by the European Union’s Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF) and the Council of Europe.

The aim of the workshop is to raise awareness and strengthen the knowledge of relevant professionals in supporting unaccompanied children during their transition to adulthood. The participants will, inter alia, discuss promising practices on participatory strategies for unaccompanied migrant children, access to basic rights and legal support, and access to accommodation. Interactive working tables will foster exchanges of experiences and strengthen transnational and multiagency co-operation between Council of Europe member States.

The workshop will bring together representatives from public authorities, international organisations, child protection agencies, social and legal professionals, civil society organisations, academia, and other relevant actors involved in the protection of unaccompanied children and young refugees and migrants.
