Every year, the Child Friendly Justice European Network (CFJ-EN) brings together leading voices from across Europe for its flagship international conference. These gatherings provide a vital space for dialogue, where experts, policymakers, practitioners, academics, and young people themselves can come together to explore the most pressing issues in child-friendly justice.

​

What makes our seminars unique?

​

• Multidisciplinary approach: We draw on perspectives spanning law, child protection, psychology, and social work to build a richer, more holistic understanding of the challenges children face in justice systems.

• Active participation: Children and young people are not merely subjects of study — they are active partners who share their lived experiences and directly shape our policy recommendations.

• Concrete impact: Insights and outcomes from each seminar feed into a final report and targeted policy briefs, designed to improve children and young people's experiences of the justice system at local, national, and European levels.
