That children are listened to, when it comes to equal opportunities and growing up healthily without violence, access to education and a voice in urban development.

Being a place where the real world of children can be presented and verified by indicators.&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\nThe applicant cities should be given the task of bringing the children of the EU member states closer to each other, and hereby contributing to a better understanding among the Europeans. Additionally, a European Children\u2019s Capital must be a field for experimentation.
