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. 

Often, professionals who provide direct services to children, see a gap between theory and practice: ‘How can we apply the attachment theory to the particular case of a 12-year-old boy with challenging behaviour?’ Without having the ambition to redesign university programmes, childhub.org connects theory, research and practice by offering self-study materials in plain language. The broad scope of resources which vary in length, format and topic cover psychological, social, legal and medical issues related to child protection services.

The Child Protection Hub is a source of useful information both on your country and the region in general. Thanks to it, I realized we share a lot of common concerns and practices in the region. I enjoy visiting the Child Hub regularly to reflect on the issues I am currently working on. 

ChildHub provides online content that is of the highest standard. It brings me great joy to have the vast online library ready to access at my fingertips. I believe the multilingualism of the Child Hub content makes it easier for teachers and experts to search for helpful resources in whatever language they feel most comfortable with, and further encourages their participation in the area of child protection. 

I highly appreciate the initiative to “store” on a website so many useful resources of great quality. I manage to get informed about issues that directly interest me, but also to learn about totally new subjects. It is very important for me that ChildHub offers the opportunity to interact with professionals from other countries in the region, but also from Moldova, and to share the experience we have. The webinars are an accessible and attractive way to learn from experienced experts from around the world. And the training of trainers that I attended was a unique opportunity to meet professionals from this region and to involve in an exchange of experiences that helps to solve common problems.

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.
