The Inclusive Child Participation Networks (ICPN) project is a European initiative coordinated by Save the Children Italy and implemented at the European level by Save the Children Europe and SOS Children’s Villages International. It brings together 18 organisations across 11 countries to strengthen child participation in decision making at both national and EU levels. The project is funded by the CERV program.

A key outcome of the project is the creation of the European Network on Inclusive Child Participation, which connects national child participation networks across Europe and fosters collaboration, learning, and exchange.

Each national network works directly with children and young people to ensure their views are heard, respected, and acted upon in decisions that affect their lives.

Together, we are working towards a Europe where every child can participate meaningfully:

  • in their community
  • in their country
  • and at European level

We believe children must be listened to, respected, and supported by adults, organizations, and decision‑makers-every step of the way.
