External event
FRA will contribute to the first session of the UN Human Rights Office’s open-ended intergovernmental working group that will explore a draft optional protocol to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. It will look at the rights to early childhood education, free pre-primary and secondary education.

The Agency can support this process with child and education-related data from its research on fundamental rights in the EU. These include its large-scale surveys and thematic studies. They cover integrated child protection systems, Roma children, children in the EU fleeing the Russian aggression against Ukraine, children of African descent in the EU and more. 

The meeting runs from 1 to 3 September.
