Members

• The members brief each other on how they perceive the situation with regard to the Quality of Childhood in their areas of activity.
• The members brief each other on their concrete activities, strategies, networks in which they function, etc. and on the information they possess and the sources of funding (if this is appropriate).
• Because the members have a continuous dialogue with each other, a consensus on certain topics may gradually emerge; the result of this is as follows:
  • It will reassure the individual members that they have made the right analysis and will give them the feeling that they are on the right track. This in turn will give all the members more self confidence to pursue their activities.
  • Having gone through this process with a group of leading experts in the European Union, a consensus will emerge and this in turn will emanate to other stakeholders, the media and the political parties.
  • All the members will start to act differently because of the new insights acquired in the Alliance for Childhood European Network Group. As a result, all the members will start to change the existing networks in which they are active in their own countries / group of countries.
• In short: the Alliance for Childhood European Network Group will create a knowledge base with respect to the Quality of Childhood in the European Union.
