Firstborn’s words at the recent #EHF2025 resonate deeply this World Refugee Day. Refugees are not a “stress to funding” but people like any one of us. When policies are made, the priorities of refugees, particularly of youth and children, must be part of the process. #WRD2025

Europe’s greatest landmarks started as bold ideas. Now it’s our turn. As EU leaders draft the next #EUbudget, they face a choice: build bridges with global partners or retreat. The #MFF Hub is launching a campaign to invest in shared futures. Join us:

Important talks with Cabinet of @MartaKosEU on how to place children at the heart of EU enlargement, where we put forward proposals like making child care reform an accession condition, & providing predictable support to countries. EU enlargement must deliver for children too.💪

The AU-EU Ministerial Meeting showed progress, but the needs of girls in crisis were left largely unaddressed. Girls and young women deserve the power to shape outcomes. This is an essential step for impactful, sustainable, and just solutions.

🚨 On Tuesday, most EU member states agreed to reassess the EU-Israel Association Agreement over #Gaza. Plan International welcomes this but it’s not enough. The EU must: .Suspend the EU-Israel Agreement .Demand urgent aid access to Gaza .Halt arms sales amid IHL violations

Every five minutes, a child dies from violence. But grave violations against children are not inevitable. They are a result of choices. At #EHF2025, @PlanGlobal CEO @rghelani called for an end to the normalisation of rights violations in humanitarian crises.

Firstborn calls on #EHF2025 attendees to not forget that children and young refugees are not a “stress to funding” but real people. His testimony highlights the urgent need for sustained attention and funding for interventions designed for children and young refugees.

📸 At the #EHF2025? Don’t miss Plan's photo exhibition exploring the challenges children in Latin America face in their pursuit of education. Or discover how we support children’s right to learn in crisis-affected areas of Somalia, together with @eu_echo:

✅Community-wide benefits.EiE projects improve access to water, food, and income opportunities, strengthening entire communities, not just classrooms.

✅Mental Health & Psychosocial Support/#MHPSS.Teachers provide emotional support, helping children and caregivers cope with trauma and stress. ✅Access to health and protection services. Classrooms double as hubs for identifying/referring children to services like medical care.

✅Safe spaces.Children learn in secure environments, protected from violence and exploitation even when resources are scarce. ✅Lifesaving knowledge.Through play-based learning and community-led teaching, children gain safety skills, and pass them on to their families.

Encouraging to hear Commissioner @hadjalahbib highlight the role of education during her opening remarks at the #EHF2025. She’s absolutely right. Across the world, Plan International witnesses how in crises, education does more than just teach. It protects, heals, empowers. 🧵

Commissioner @hadjalahbib opens #EHF2025 with stories of survivors: a #GBV victim, children longing to return to school, youth robbed of their formative years. This is the real cost of crises. She reaffirms the EU’s commitment to solidarity and principled humanitarian aid.

In today’s @euobs, Plan International's Sven Coppens warns that mental health must not be overlooked in humanitarian interventions in #Ukraine. The #EHF2025 is a timely opportunity for the EU to reaffirm its commitment, starting with 3 essential steps.

Humanitarian needs are skyrocketing, geopolitics are shifting and #IHL is increasingly disregarded - while humanitarian funding is shrinking. @PlanEU looks forward to #EHF2025 as a platform to come together, align our efforts and push for interventions that deliver real impact.
