  • More than a decade of Daphne

    More than a decade of Daphne

     

    Since 1997, the EC Daphne Programme has supported 505 projects across the EU Member States representing a total EC funding of more than 65 million Euros. From research studies to the creation of networks, from major conferences to work with small communities at risk, each of the projects had at least two partners working together, from different countries in Europe. In many cases there were many more partners, sometimes more than there are Member States. In total, more than 2,600 organisations across Europe have joined the ‘Daphne family’ and have contributed to creating a wealth of knowledge and experience that is unparalleled in Europe and perhaps the world. Daphne clearly fills a need and the European Parliament has recognised this by increasing its budget substantially through 2013. This publication brings together the lessons of the first ten years.

    Violence against children: West and Central Africa

     

    This is one of a series of reports on the regional consultations organized to contribute to the United Nations Secretary-General’s Study on Violence against Children in 2007. Preparatory work painted a clear picture not only of what already exists in the areas of protection of children, prevention of violence and support to victims, but also where gaps and challenges remain. In each region, the participants in the consultation – including children and young people themselves – developed a statement of intent and a practical indication of actions that need to be taken. In some regions, countries also developed specific national action plans that they undertook to implement as a matter of priority.

    For three years between 2004 and 2006, the European Commission’s Daphne Programme to combat violence against children, young people and women, brought together the coordinators and project partners of the Daphne projects funded to give them technical, administrative and practical information and instructions for the management of their projects. Since its creation in 1997, the Daphne Programme has achieved a very good reputation in terms of its results and the impact of these results on children, young people and women in Europe. Sharing the lessons and enhancing the skills of the project organizations contributed greatly to this. This is the report of the 2006 conference.

  • The Daphne Experience 1997-2003

    The Daphne Experience 1997-2003

     

    On 11 April 1997, representatives of 30 non-governmental organizations (NGOs), Members of the European Parliament, European Commission staff members, law enforcement representatives and individuals with expertise in the area of child protection, gathered in Brussels for a Hearing on the horror that had shaken Europe and galvanized public and political opinion. The discovery of the bodies of a number of missing girls in Belgium in late summer 1996 raised questions about what Europe could do to protect children from those who wished to abuse or exploit them for profit. One of the outcomes was the creation of a one-year funding line called ‘Daphne’.  So huge was the response that the programme has been renewed regularly and currently is funded until 2013.  This report documents the first six years.

  • Europe against Violence: Messages and materials from Daphne

    Europe against Violence: Messages and materials from Daphne

     

    Between 1997 and 2002, some 40-50 projects were funded by the European Commission’s Daphne Programme every year. A number of projects included campaign/awareness-raising materials carrying different messages relating to the combat against violence. Almost all of these were used in more than one EU country, but none of them had been used right across Europe. In 2002, therefore, the EC decided to begin bringing together some of these materials into a modest ‘library’.  This is the booklet that explains the materials, provides lessons learned and gives references to finding the materials on the EU website.
