Synthesis of ADEM symposium on the minimum welcoming standards for unaccompanied children
The conference brought together over 70 participants including unaccompanied children, institutions and NGO representatives. The numerous exchanges highlighted the need for stronger links between public authorities and civil society as well as active youth participation. ADEM will undertake in the coming months to be spokesman of these topics with the public concerned. In addition, when the CDAS recommendations will be communicated, a mapping of the support system for unaccompanied children in each canton will be performed.
ADEM's next conference will be held on Thursday, November 10, 2016 in Berne on the theme of reliable people.
