It’s important that our website meets the needs of children and teens, so they have a good experience when they visit us.
To help us in this work, we have a dedicated team of six teenage Platform members from Italy and Bulgaria. They are the Website Co-creation Team. Meet them and see their work!
Here's the team
Bulgarian State Agency for Child Protection
"The development of the site was a collection of different nationalities, ages and ideas. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to join this adventure. It was very interesting and useful, but at the same time fun. I definitely learned a lot!" Adriyana
"Working on this project was incredibly inspiring. I believe that through the European Commission's child participation platform, we are creating a space where young voices can be heard and contribute to the future of Europe." Andon
"The strongest actions for young people are to love themselves, be themselves and shine amongst those who never believed they could." Katrin
Italian Independent Authority for Children and Adolescents
"I’m very happy to participate in this initiative because I think it’s important to listen to the voices of young people." Beatrice
"I strongly believe that as children who have the possibility to do so, we not only have the right but also the duty to speak and be listened on matters that concern us. It feels fantastic to be able to make a difference!" Emanuele
"If you are a kid or a teen reading this, you have to know that your voice matters. Don’t be afraid to speak up for yourself and for your rights!" Marta
Here's some of their work
New visual identity
- Review and choices for the concept
- Review of web banners, social media cards, report covers
- Choice of images and icons
Input was used for the final decision on the new concept, and lots of design choices for the website and other communications channels.
Safety reporting visuals and form
- Review of reporting icon and tagline
- Review of reporting form texts
- User testing of online reporting form
Input was used to make the wording easier to understand and to improve the structure and flow of the reporting form.
What makes a good website for teens?
- Unique and interesting
- Interactive and dynamic
- Modern, colourful and helpful
Input was used in the content plan, in the design and development, for a user satisfaction survey - and for future improvements to the website.
