The National Network for Children is an alliance of civil society organizations and supporters, working with and for the children and families across the whole country.
The promotion, protection and observing the rights of the child are part of the key principles, that unite them. They believe that all policies and practices, that affect directly or indirectly the children should be developed, applied and observed, taking into account the principle of the best interest of the child and with the active participation of children and young people themselves. They are lead in all our activities by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child as a key document that lays down the philosophy, the values and the way of work of the Network.
