"Change comes from us. Children will not only inherit the future, children will create it", Una, a representative of the DX Club, at the Center for Children's Rights and a member of the Eurochild Children's Council.

Representatives of the DX Club participated in the 13th European Forum on the Rights of the Child, which was held online, organized by the European Commission's Directorate-General for Justice, from September 29 to October 1, 2020. The forum is a platform for dialogue between the institutions of the European Union and other actors working in the field of children's rights.

The main topic of this year's three-day forum, in which children are participating for the first time, was the European Strategy on the Rights of the Child, why we need it and what it should include. In addition to children and young people, the forum was attended by representatives of governments, international and non-governmental organizations, EU institutions, international agencies, ombudsmen for children's rights and academics.

During the three days of the forum, representatives of the DX Club, in addition to various sessions dedicated to the Strategy on the Rights of the Child, children's participation in political and democratic life in the European Union, but also the rights of the child in the new situation caused by KOVID-19, had the opportunity to actively participate in workshop work during which the topics of protection of children from violence, inclusion in education and society, as well as justice tailored to the child were discussed.
