The PROCHILD Kick Off Meeting took place in Bologna, Italy between 14.-15. November 2018. During the two day conference, the partnership discussed the project overview, management and coordination, communication and dissemination activities and the mapping of needs and good practices for an early and integrated detection and treatment of abused minors. We also got to take part in social activities including a guided tour to the beautiful city centre of Bologna, and a delicious dinner in a traditional Italian restaurant.
