May, 2011: In the framework of the project Mario the findings of the report entitled: “Vulnerability to exploitation and trafficking of Bulgarian children and adolescents in Greece” (Antonella Invernizzi) will be presented. The event will be hosted and chaired by Ms. Mariya Ivanova Nedelcheva, Member of the European Parliament (Bulgaria).

This report is the result of a month-long street observation activity that took place in Thessaloniki, Greece, and aimed at identifying children of Bulgarian origin in street situation, and their vulnerability in terms of different child protection issues. Based on field research techniques, the report addresses a series of specific recommendations towards governments, NGOs, International organisations, civil society actors and communities, and intergovernmental actors, including the EU.

The aim of the event is to promote sharing of experiences on the issue of migrant children of European nationality found on the territory of another European country, whose situation often raises serious concerns and generated a debate among stakeholders, including European Union Member States or European institutions.
