Start and finish time of webinar
13:30 - 15:00 CET (14:30 – 16:00 Greek time)

This webinar aims at presenting the Become Safe initiative in Greece, where it has specifically targeted unaccompanied children and youth on the move, at risk of violence and exploitation.

This webinar will tackle the following points:

  • Brief overview of the Greek Context and research findings
  • Presentation of the project and its adaptation to the Greek Context: approach and main activities
  • Focus on the training with professionals: Thematic, Methodology and Approach
  • Youth Facilitators
  • Consultations with children to identify main forms of violence

The overall objective of BECOME SAFE is to improve the protection of migrant children and young people victims or at risk of violence, and uphold their rights to assistance and quality victims care in the EU. To achieve this, the project deploys three complementary strategies to promote systemic and sustainable improvements in the protection of children and youth on the move. It does so through working hand in hand with children and young people themselves, as well as professionals in contact with them.
