🎒 Back to school, back to work — and time to put children at the top of Europe’s agenda! Today, Save the Children launches its 2024 European Activity Report, showing how we worked with children, partners & institutions to turn challenges into action. Discover more 👇

Protect children, protect Europe – fund the fight against child poverty ✊🏼✊🏿✊🏽✊ The EU Alliance for #InvestinginChildren is urging EU presidents @vonderleyen @EP_President @eucopresident to make ending child poverty a core priority in the next #EUbudget. 1/2

Team Save is at #EHF2025! We’re joining over 1,500 humanitarian actors in Brussels for the 4th #EuropeanHumanitarianForum, co-hosted by @EU_Commission @eu_echo and @POLAND25EU.

Save the Children is disappointed by @Europarl_EN's failure to allocate €20B for the #ChildGuarantee in ESF+ post-2027 vote. With 1 in 4 children in Europe at risk of poverty or social exclusion, this decision weakens a vital tool meant to protect millions of children. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Today is #WorldNGODay. NGOs are a backbone of healthy democracies. To all those working in NGOs—thank you. Your dedication, your courage, and your persistence make a difference every day.

🇪🇸🇪🇺 Through the @EIBINSTITUTE, we're donating €300,000 to 3 NGOs, aiding communities affected by flooding in Spain. The funds will provide psychosocial support, safe learning spaces for children, and help residents restore decent living conditions. ➡️ https://t.co/tE7UZ9dfyv

Thanks to @save_children for my #BackToSchool pack! A reminder that we need to ensure all children are educated and protected across the world. This will be an important priority during my mandate, especially improving children’s access to justice and protecting them online.

As the new @EU_Commission starts to accelerate work on the next #MFF, the EU's long-term budget, now is the time for more investment in social and cohesion funds. Read our call to prioritise cohesion policy⬇️ https://t.co/mLZylBlMpi #EUbudget

Something red 🔴 is about to drop as the @Europarl_EN gives a green light 🟢 to the new @EU_Commission today. What could it be? #BackToSchool

💔 Ser madre en España es más difícil que nunca. Tres madres de Andalucía, Madrid y País Vasco cuentan cómo los costes de la crianza (comida, ropa, vivienda...) se complican cada mes. Es urgente apoyar a las familias con medidas como una prestación universal. #InfanciaProtegida

🎒 #BacktoSchool is here for the 2024-2029 European Commission! Save the Children Europe is delivering red backpacks filled with tools to inspire action: 📕 A guide to champion children’s rights 🖊️ A pen for quality education 🩹 A first aid kit for protection in crises 📏 A

"I'm a child, I'm a human being, and I have the right to a good life." This #ChildrensDay listen to children from Ukraine, Syria & Indonesia share an uplifting poem they have written about #ChildRights that are most important to them. For 100 years, we've been helping children

Celebrating #CRC35 #WorldChildrensDay2024 in the @Europarl_EN with @Childmanifesto @VeronikaCifrova @alexagiussaliba and @ale_moretti Hearing from 15 children, including Rea, a child rights advocate from @SCinKosovo_ Voices that truly matter, today and every day ✊🇪🇺

Asked about mandatory social & green conditionalities in #publicprocurement, @steph_sejourne commits to strengthening social & green standards as part of the revision of the #publicprocurement directive to make sure that they factor more into assessment of bids, not just price.

Commissioner @DanJoergensen @ #hearing 5/11 🔘>1 million homeless in EU = unacceptabe 🔘EU is not on track to end homelessness by 2030 🔘EU must do MORE 🔘EU has enough competences 🔘lets promote Housing First 🔘focus must b on learning & EU funding Good basis 4 cooperation!👏

.@FriendsofEurope #StateofEU, D. Kanani rightly says that poverty reduction, housing, education etc are the things that matter to move forward sustainably. The #Draghi & #Letta reports neglect the social dimension, we need to have it more in this debate. #RenewedSocialContract

Lastly, it was disheartening to hear many racist and xenophobic questions, with #ChildrenRights weaponized to undermine other minorities. What was once seen as an exception now seems part of the Parliament's new normal. We must stay vigilant and fight against this.
