An estimated 800,000 children in the European Union are separated from an imprisoned parent on any given day. Yet few people are aware of the impact that a parent's incarceration can have on a child. Children separated from a parent in prison frequently experience multiple emotional and social difficulties associated with their parent's incarceration. They not only have to cope with the parent's absence and the disruption of the child-parent bond, but are also vulnerable to social exclusion, financial hardship, discrimination and shame. Children of Prisoners Europe (COPE) is a pan-European network which encourages innovative perspectives and practice to ensure that the rights of these children (as enshrined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the European Convention on Human Rights) are fully respected and that action is taken to secure their well-being and healthy development. The network is a membership-based organisation made up of non-governmental organisations and individuals across Europe and beyond, linked by a staff team based at its French headquarters. Raising awareness among child-related agencies, prison services and policymakers to the specific needs of children of prisoners and promoting initiatives that take these needs into account, the organisation is seeking to: - Expand programmes that support the child-parent relationship and help minimise violence for children with an imprisoned parent; - Introduce the child's perspective throughout the criminal justice process, from arrest to resettlement; - Foster cross-sectoral collaboration among public and private agencies involved in supporting and making decisions about children of prisoners; - Obtain better information and greater visibility for prisoners' children and influence policy at the national, European and international level on their behalf; - Promote the exchange of initiatives, expertise and good practice for children with imprisoned parents; - Enhance the competence of professionals within the field. Working to foster the promotion and provision of policies, frameworks and meaningful action on behalf of children affected by parental incarceration to protect their development and well-being, our aim is to ease the burden of the imprisonment of a parent on the child.

JA Italy is part of the European network JA Europe which is the European Regional Operating Centre forJA Worldwide. During all these years we had the opportunity to understand the peculiarities of the Italian educational system and the needs of Italian pupils, also by mean of our global monitoring of different educational systems around the globe. Since the beginning, we focus our activities to strengthen the entrepreneurial culture for Italian kids and therefore the committee did suggest to launch an innovative program about entrepreneurship, innovation and creativity called "Impresa in azione" based on the student mini-enterprise tool (Company program). This program was very well accepted also by the public administration and therefore entered the schools with a MoU signed by the Ministry of Education and it is, since 2015, an official programme under the "school-work exchange" plan of the Ministry. In 2019/20 over 10,000 secondary school students (15/19 years old) followed this program. Today, JA Italia's nationwide programmes offer school students the possibility to live a real business experience. The programmes focus on: career guidance, improving the competences teenagers will need in vocational training, enhancing their employment prospects, teaching them business knowledge and instilling key skills. Students learn together, trying out the basic principles of entrepreneurship and acquiring the business acumen and core social skills which they will need in their future careers.
