At our recent Our Voices Matter Summit in Bulgaria, young people from Ukraine, Moldova, Romania and Bulgaria came together to talk about what accountability means, and how people with power over their lives can be held to account.
Following the meeting, the young people produced The Sofia Declaration – which you can read below – and which offers advice and recommendations for adults and organisations involved in the care of children.
Whatever your interactions with children and young people – from parental to professional – we’d highly recommend giving The Sofia Declaration a read, as it provides valuable insights into how young people wish to be treated, and what steps all of us can take to ensure that their voices are heard and their quality of life is improved.
