The DAPHNE-CHILD Grantee Spotlight Podcast
This is a bi-weekly podcast showcasing the vital and innovative work of grantees of the Daphne-CHILD programme in 9 European countries, as they combat violence against children across Europe.

Each episode offers listeners insight into the challenges, successes, and resilience found in this critical field, whilst demonstrating how grassroots civil society organisations are transforming lives through comprehensive support, legal advocacy, and trauma-informed care.
