Best Practice
The exchange of good practice and mutual comparison is one of the pillars underpinning this project. Due to the ongoing pandemic emergency, partners could not perform field visits as originally planned. Instead, the project was split in two parts. First, they had the opportunity to compare experiences and working methodologies through online Roundtables. The meetings resulted in a series of Recommendations to improve alternative care services and in a joint statement outlining their commitment to creating more welcoming and inclusive cities for Unaccompanied Migrant Children. The field visit, which is considered the second part of the project, has been planned for autumn 2021, if the conditions allow it.
