As UNICEF marks its 75th anniversary, the Children’s Summit in Ukraine is part of a much bigger, global series of events to celebrate the progress with child rights achieved for the last decades.
This is a high-profile national dialogue partnered with Ukraine 30 Forum to convene young people with ALL key ministers, mayors of the Ukrainian and foreign cities inspiring solutions that foster child rights at the local level, civil society and business to drive solutions and mobilize partners to work towards a more inclusive and sustainable future for every child in Ukraine.
While UNICEF in Ukraine started preparations for its new five-year programme cycle (2023-2028), the Children’s Summit is an opportunity to validate a strategic discussion with key counterparts on child agenda and priorities.
The Children’s Summit will also go live on UNICEF digital channels – UNICEF Ukraine Facebook (in Ukrainian) and UNICEF Ukraine Youtube (in English).
The simultaneous translation in English and Ukrainian will be arranged.
