Italy and Romania shared
experiences and practices of alternative care for children in
both countries, as well as ongoing efforts to prevent the
separation of children from their families and to complete
deinstitutionalization processes. The event was organized by the
Embassy of Italy in Bucharest in collaboration with the Romanian
Ministry of Family, Youth and Equal Opportunities and UNICEF
Romania. The event, held in Palatul Victoria headquarters of the
Government of Romania, laid the groundwork for the creation of
networks of practitioners in Italy and Romania to exchange best
practices and continuously improve standards in the field. "In
light of the strong ties between our countries and societies and
fruitful collaboration in a number of areas, in line with the
Strategic Bilateral Partnership re-launched last February,
today's conference reinforces our common commitment to improving
the lives of children and supporting families." , said
Ambassador of Italy to Romania Alfredo Durante Mangoni. "Italy,"
he added, "has developed many good practices in the field of
alternative care, including in recent years as part of the
European Child Guarantee trial. Since it will soon be 35 years
since the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child,
the exchange of experiences and the development of cooperation
in favor of children are of particular importance for both
countries."
