EU: Conference on Animal Welfare Education

The European Commission, together with the Belgian Presidency of the EU, is organizing the First International Conference on Animal Welfare Education on 1-2 October in Brussels.

Under the motto "Everyone is responsible", the event aims to provide more information to the citizens about educational tools and programs on animal welfare, and to raise awareness about how important it is to educate citizens, farmers, professional animal carriers, handlers, slaughterhouse operators, retailers and other stakeholders on how animals should be treated.

The conference will also help creating a network, at European and international level, between educational institutions that are active in animal welfare, and to develop a harmonized concept of animal welfare education that everyone involved could use.
