EYP – Empowering Young Patients

Update

As part of Empowering Young Patient (EYP), an EU-funded piloting project working to foster young patients’ right to participate in their care and in their communities while undergoing long-term treatment in hospital, HOPE would like to invite you to the Final Event on 9 December 2026 in Rome from 14h00 – 17h00.

📍 Libera: Via Stamira, 5, Rome
🌐 Language: Italian

Programme:

  • Presentation of the EYP project and its European dimension.
  • The humanization of care: creative laboratories carried out in the hospital, and testimonies of those who lived them.
  • From schools to the hospital: the path of co-design of rights leading to the Charter of Rights of children and adolescents in the hospital.
  • Questions and dialogue.

The afternoon will close with a performance by Sarafine one of the artists who took part in the project.

About the project

Empowering Young Patients (EYP) is a 24-month project funded by the Commission’s Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values Programme (CERV) under the call ‘Rights of the child and children’s participation’. In response to the challenges children and adolescents face in hospital settings, EYP seeks to promote their inclusion and participation in civic life within hospitals.

The project kicked off activities in January 2025. For the next two years, five partners (Junior Achievement – Italy, Project School, Action Aid – Italy, Officine Buone, and HOPE) will work to benchmark best practices in participative processes involving young patients, develop educational resources (particularly fostering life and civic skills) for children undergoing long-term care, promote policy dialogues and advocacy, and build communities of knowledge.

HOPE will support various tasks, including conducting a needs analysis at the EU level, stakeholder outreach, drafting policy recommendations, and communications activities.
