The Child Hub is an essential resource for child protection and empowerment in the Balkans. It offers rich materials and learning opportunities to workers who are far from physical libraries, and creates easier access to experts for those in the field. The site is growing all the time, so one can keep coming back to benefit from this resource.

Child Hub is easy to use, and spending time in the Active Learning section is well worth the effort. Interactive tools, opportunities to join live webinars and listen to the recordings of the past ones, as well as using self-study materials and courses which you can enjoy at your own rhythm and comfort of your own home are very effective and attractive.
