About the festival
The festival is an on-line event hosted by the Alliance for Childhood-European Network Group (ENG) in Brussels. This festive event will also be the ENG’s 85th QoC- session, bringing attention to the needs and potentials of childhood. Quality of Childhood (QoC) sessions are usually held in the Parliament building of the European Union in Brussels around four times a year and are hosted by the sitting MEPs who act as our patrons.
