Within the framework of its voluntary cooperation progamme VCP (programme for strengthening all aspects of children’s rights), the IBCR has created a Social Laboratory.
An innovative collaborative process bringing together the partners of the VCP network, this Social Lab allows for exchanges on common themes and the identification of good practices in the promotion and respect of children’s rights in the 11 countries of the programme.
Like an incubator for programmes, it will also allow for the development and testing of new approaches and innovative solutions to strengthen the protection of children and guarantee the respect of their rights in all circumstances.
Over the 8 years of the VCP, the good practices identified and the innovations created within the framework of the Laboratory will be made available to any person, organisation, institution or government wishing to drive change at a local, regional or international level and thus advance the protection and respect of children’s rights around the world.
