Network Children’s Rights Austria organizes 9x one-hour “lunch breaks” with 18 speakers by the end of school for the special report “Corona and the rights of the child”
We are now deliberately taking a break from the mumbling. During our nine “lunch breaks”, we examine with experts how children and young people were doing in all areas of life during the Corona pandemic. The next question will be what policy measures are needed in the short, medium and long term? We must not continue to forget young people and then pretend that Corona and the lessons learned from it never existed.
