Resumo: The hosting organization is an International, Humanitarian and Independent Institution based in Cyprus. Our Institution is established on standards and principles of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and European Union Law.
It works on humanitarian and development policy relevant to the defence and promotion of children’s rights. It does so through research, grassroots program design and implementation and advisory services offered to governments and international organizations. Our vision is to contribute to the protection and promotion of rights of the child and to support the active participation of youth in society.

The main theme of the project is “Children's rights” as well as associate challenging issues and implications for practice such as social or cultural discrimination, gender-based violence, sexual abuse, bullying, missing children, children on the move, and other phenomena that challenge the implementation of children's rights.
