This interactive bootcamp engages young participants in developing practical and innovative ideas to address child labour challenges in their communities. Working in teams and supported by experts, participants will analyse root causes, propose solutions tailored to local contexts, and transform their ideas into clear and structured projects, presented in the form of pitches. The session combines practical group work, project presentations and feedback from a jury. Selected initiatives will be highlighted and receive further support. The bootcamp provides a space for children to participate, encourages creativity and collaboration, and brings young people’s perspectives to the broader discussions at the Conference.
