Athens, 17 October 2017

“The Smile of the Child” , member of Educ-Europe had the pleasure to host from the 2nd to the 6th of October in Athens the members of the European network in the framework of their 2nd International Meeting for 2017. Participants discussed the next steps of the Network, its future actions and the search for funding opportunities.

On the 5th and 6th of October the members of the Network had the opportunity to visit the actions of “The Smile of the Child” and received detailed information from its scientific personnel. Participants showed particular interest in learning more about the funding tools of the Organization and the importance of citizens’ support, as well as the support provided by “The Smile of the Child” to its children of more than 18 years-old. Participant put emphasis on this good practice given the fact that this issue constitutes a serious problem in other countries due to the lack of proper framework of support.

Educ-Europe is a partnership composed of employers and training organizations from several European countries, driven by a shared desire to promote social Educators as responsible players promoting personal development and a more just world. The partners have pooled their resources to offer professional training based on interpersonal contact and intercultural openness.

“The Smile of the Child” is member of the Network since November 2016.

We would like to warmly thank Aegean Omiros College for hosting the meetings and Public Café for their kind sponsorship of food for our guests.
