NUI Galway, this year's host of the UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre 10th Biennial International Conference 9-10th June 2022

Registration Now Open - UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre 10th Biennial International Conference 9-10th June 2022

The current generation of youth is coming of age in a period of unprecedented global change, due to the combined effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, technological developments, migration and globalisation. In this conference, we aim to reflect on trends, challenges and options for the current and future experiences of young people. Our core question is how can policy and practice strengthen youth agency, inclusion and development in a rapidly changing world? The conference will draw on international and national expertise and evidence. Provisional themes and topics to be addressed in keynote presentations and parallel sessions will include mental health and wellbeing, relationships and belonging, youth participation and activism, technology, diversity and inclusion and youth work.
