\"\"<\/p>\n

This technical meeting, organized by the Platform on Statelessness of the European Migration Network<\/a>, aims to analyse the state of play regarding children which are without nationality and risk to become statelessness.<\/strong> The main purpose<\/strong> is to bring together different actors who work in the field (e.g. civil servants, legal practitioners, NGOs involved in the subject) while providing them with in-depth knowledge about policy options, good practices and potential challenges identifying accurately whether the child has or does not have a nationality. Participants are invited to exchange views as actively as possible to maximize the sharing of experience and difficulties encountered on this regard.<\/p>\n

The technical meeting “Ensuring the right to nationality for every child” will take place on 7 December 2022 at the European Union House in Tallinn, Estonia (R\u00e4vala pst 4<\/a>).\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
