One of the main purposes of the MedChild Institute is to facilitate a constructive  experiences and knowledge exchange in support of child and his family health, developing actions that guarantee education and cultural rights.

A special attention is attributed to rethink the urban structure, which is more compatible with childhood.

Therefore, MedChild conceived the first Best Practice Prize as an instrument to support and encourage this exchange, and to develop further a common awareness.

The increasing awareness about those procedures which are already active, is the main principle related to this initiative.

The procedures which are going to be started will help all operators in the Mediterranean area to work together in order to obtain a real and significant progress for the children of that area.

Through this prize, MedChild Foundation tries to promote the cooperation among all the main sector operators which will be able to profit by mutual contact.

The prize pursues also the goal of giving suitable visibility and extreme relief to important and tenable results obtained in the whole Mediterranean area.

This situation is going to increase children wellbeing.

The delivery of the Mediterranean Best Practice MedChild first prize took place at Dubai Conference in May 2005.

This prize consists of four sections about the following intervention sectors:

·      Education-culture

·      Early childhood development 

·      Health

·      Urbanistics
