Press Release: EU Children of Peace: a lasting legacy of the Nobel Peace Prize supporting thousands of children worldwide

The European Commission will support 80 000 children affected by conflict through new humanitarian projects announced on 20 November 2013 which are supported by the 'EU Children of Peace' initiative.

The European Commission established 'EU Children of Peace' in 2012 after it was honoured with the Nobel Prize for Peace, investing the Prize money in helping children who are living in conflict and post-conflict environments. It will continue to make a difference for even more children in the year ahead.
