Protection of unaccompanied children after 18: a crucial issue, with multiple gaps and challenges, most if not all of which are known, but are rarely discussed in the public discourse.

With the aim of starting and/or resuming this dialogue, GCR, in cooperation with Oxfam, the Dutch Council of Refugees, ACLI France and with the support of the European Programme for Integration and Migration (EPIM), participates in the Rise-Up – Unaccompanied minors transitioning safely into adulthood project.

The project’s initial objective was to highlight, by means of an update, some of the best practices, and in particular the obstacles that exist in relation to the smooth and safe transition of unaccompanied children into adult life in five EU Member States, including Greece.  

The research results are reflected in the report issued by the partner organizations, which can be read here.
