APPLICATION OF THE FRIENDLY VERSIONS OF THE UN GUIDELINES: WORKSHOPS WITH OPERATORS AND WORKSHOPS WITH CHILDREN IN BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA.

The RELAF team has carried out workshops on the friendly versions of the UN Guidelines for the Alternative Care of Children in Argentina. The organisations that took part in these workshops included: the Young Men's Christian Association; Ieladeinu; Familias de la Esperanza NGO; Soles en el Camino NGO; and La Casona de los Barriletes.

We would like to thank Nora Schulman, Executive Director of the Argentine Committee to Monitor the Convention on the Rights of the Child, who facilitated the contact with some of the organisations involved; Henry Chiroque, Coordinator for Save the Children Argentina, with whom we are planning future workshops; and Ieladeinu, which gently made their facilities available to RELAF for the workshops with operators.
