Regional and international conferences are spaces that often tend to exclude children and youth. Children’s participation capacity development is an important part of RIATT-ESA and REPSSI Strategy. Through these forums we continuously learn from and with children and youth in order to sustain the achievement gained for their psychosocial and mental wellbeing.
