Activities

• Thematic working groups (WG):

The Cities for Children Network members have constituted seven working groups according to the seven Network tasks in the fields of education, housing and outdoor space, health, work-life balance, generation dialogue, youth participation and traffic and road safety.

Each working group is moderated by one member city, the moderation changes every year. WGs meet in general once a year in the respective moderating cities. For capacity reasons, the WG meetings are for representatives of the member cities only. The WG participants define the themes they wish to focus on. They report back to all members in the frame of the annual conferences.
