EYP – Empowering Young Patients

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 (4 Italian organisations 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.

Soon we will share EYP’s social media accounts to stay informed about the project’s updates and progress!

 

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values programme under grant agreement no. 101190329.
