    from across the continent. This report distils the meeting discussions, including analysis and ideas, and concludes with proposals for action. It does not represent the views either of individual participants or of FRA.

    This report presents findings from FRA’s 2021 survey on Roma in Croatia, Czechia, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Portugal, Romania and Spain, as well as in North Macedonia and Serbia. The survey includes interviews with more than 8,400 Roma, collecting information on more than 20,000 individuals living in their households. By focusing on Roma, the survey provides unique data and information that are not available from European general population surveys, which do not disaggregate on grounds of ethnic origin. The findings present a bleak but familiar picture of exclusion, deprivation, discrimination and racism.

    Europe stands at a delicate moment in its history, facing a convergence of major tests. Each of them taken on their own is significant. Together, they pose profound questions about the political, economic, and societal future of the continent. This is a moment for strong commitment to put human rights at the heart of our vision for Europe’s future. It is also time to demonstrate our determination to work together to this end. Against this backdrop, the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) brought together around sixty human rights leaders and experts from across the continent to discuss elements of a human rights vision for the future and to identify opportunities for action. A full conference report will be available soon, including the specific ideas and proposals which arose from the meeting. Meanwhile, this is a summary of the conclusions.

    Dzieci są pełnoprawnymi podmiotami praw. Są beneficjentami wszystkich praw człowieka i praw podstawowych i podmiotami, które ze względu na swoje cechy szczególne podlegają przepisom szczególnym. Celem niniejszego podręcznika jest pokazanie, w jaki sposób konkretne interesy i potrzeby dzieci są uwzględnione w europejskim prawie i orzecznictwie. Przedstawiono w nim również znaczenie rodziców i opiekunów lub innych przedstawicieli prawnych, a także w stosownych przypadkach odniesiono się do sytuacji, w których prawa i obowiązki nadane są głównie opiekunom dzieci. Celem tego podręcznika jest podniesienie świadomości i poszerzenie wiedzy na temat norm prawnych, które chronią i promują prawa dziecka w Europie. Jest on punktem odniesienia zarówno do prawa Unii Europejskiej, jak i do prawa Rady Europy związanego z tymi obszarami tematycznymi i zawiera objaśnienia poszczególnych regulacji w tym zakresie w prawie UE, w tym w Karcie praw podstawowych Unii Europejskiej, oraz w europejskiej konwencji praw człowieka, Europejskiej karcie społecznej i innych instrumentach Rady Europy.
