ENMCR is a private, not-for profit association uniting European Universities, professional associations, NGOs, enterprises, individuals working in CR. The overall purpose of ENMCR is to strengthen the organization and functioning of study programmes, research and projects on CR. The main activity is to provide MA study programmes on CR in Europe. Research projects and workshops, joint publications and study exchanges are also implemented regularly. ENMCR has developed an integrated European Master in Children’s Rights which is being offered since Oct.2007 in several member universities. The programme is being transferred and adjusted to Eastern and South Eastern (Balkans) universities at the moment, with the aim of offering the programme in 3 Serbian and 1 Moldovan universities starting in autumn 2008. ENMCR worked closely with different stakeholders in CR in developing the MA (Public agencies, NGO’s, students) and continues working with them in the implementation of the programme, by inviting stakeholders as guest lectures, offering students enrolled access to information, etc. ENMCR has organized, jointly with Save the Children, Sweden (SCS) an International Conference on Children in Migration, which took place in Warsaw in March 2007. The network in cooperation with SCS is planning another large conference to bring practitioners and academics together on Quality of Education. Also, ENMCR is organizing an Exploratory Workshop on Children’s Participation and Citizenship, to which researchers and experts from across Europe are invited. A publication of the workshop results is envisaged. ENMCR also regularly publishes an electronic newsletter: CRnews on activities of the network and other CR issues across the world.
