On November 30, 2023, at 8:30 AM, the 116 000 Missing Children will organize its annual conference in collaboration with Missing Children Europe. The theme of this year’s event will be “Missing Children in Europe: for better cooperation between European countries and emergency number 116 000.”

How can cooperation between European states and the 116 000 emergency numbers be improved regarding the disappearance of minors? How can effective prevention of this phenomenon and the risks associated with running away be ensured? What support is available for victimized families? Numerous international actors will gather to address these questions and propose new perspectives on cooperation within the European continent.

 

Program

The public opening will take place from 8:45 AM to 9:30 AM.

The conference will begin with an introductory speech at 9:30 AM.

Three roundtables will structure the day around issues of cooperation, prevention, and family support within the European space:

  • 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM: Strengthening cross-border cooperation in the case of missing children
  • 1:40 PM – 3:10 PM: Preventing child disappearances: a joint effort
  • 3:25 PM – 4:55 PM: Enhancing long-term support after disappearances

The day will be interrupted by a free lunch from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM, with no catering services available on-site.

The closing speech of the conference will be held from 4:55 PM to 5:00 PM, marking the conclusion of the event.
