Eurochild Children’s Council

Rayaa Onog Ponnie is representing Ireland in the current Eurochild Children’s Council (ECC) for a 2 year mandate starting May 2022.

The ECC advocates for children’s rights and allows young people to be heard by the European Union. Rayaa traveled to Brussels, Belgium in May for the inauguration of the new council and was chosen to speak at the ECC Annual General Assembly. We are incredibly proud to be her supportive organisation and watch her grow and inspire others!
