Description
Children’s well-being is essential to the development of future societies in many, if not all respects. promoting children’s well-being is a priority in many international agendas, such as the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). There is a traditional saying ‘It takes a village to raise a child’. Putting into today’s world, it takes the orchestral efforts of multiple sectors to raise our future generations.
This hybrid Day Conference will bring together international, interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral perspectives in childcare, early childhood education and child well-being for exchanging ideas and developing a collective effort to advance children’s well-being, especially during their young ages. Speakers are from multiple countries, which have different strategies in childcare and early childhood education; from different disciplines, which specialise in children’s physical and mental health, social relations and education respectively; and from different sectors, which play different roles, such as research, service provision and advocacy.
In addition to the plenary presentations, there will be a forum discussion of country-based experiences, parallel workshops and networking opportunities. Participants can take part in person for the full programme or online for the morning sessions. Researchers, professionals, service providers, service users, policy-makers and other stakeholders are all welcome to share their perspectives.
