DP5YOU partners working meeting: preparations for the international conference

11 September 2026 saw an online working meeting of coordinators from partner organisations of the international project “Digital Platform of Knowledge and Skills Development for Youth Working with Child Migrants and Refugees at European Level” (DP5YOU), co-funded by the European Union.

The participants focused primarily on preparations for the international conference “European Experience for Working with Migrant and Refugee Children in the EU, Ukraine, and Moldova“, which will take place in a hybrid format. The event will bring together representatives from seven countries, including speakers, academics and active young people, to exchange experiences and discuss practices for working with displaced children and refugees.

The project coordinator informed the partners of the number of abstracts submitted to the organising committee and presented the agenda and programme for the conference. During the discussion, the participants reviewed the content of the presentations, the sequence of the event, and the organisational aspects of the participation of representatives from partner organisations.

Following the discussion, the partners identified key actions for organising the conference in a hybrid format. In particular, they agreed on the next steps regarding coordination with speakers, informing participants, ensuring online connectivity and preparing a collection of conference abstracts.

A separate item on the agenda was the status of participant registration on the DP5YOU digital platform and the collection of user feedback. The partners discussed the number of registered participants from each country, the number and content of the feedback received, as well as the next steps for engaging young people in learning and gathering feedback to assess the quality of the learning materials and the platform’s performance.

The participants also reviewed the preparation of reports, discussed the systematisation of the results of the activities carried out, and future collaboration between the partner organisations.

The working meeting marked an important stage in the joint preparations for the international conference and the coordination of the project’s final activities. The agreed actions are aimed at ensuring the conference is conducted to a high standard, disseminating the results of DP5YOU and strengthening international cooperation in the field of supporting displaced children and refugees.
