 | Child in the City Conference – Rotterdam, 3-5 November 2008 03-11-2008 Introduction The European Network for Child Friendly Cities and the Child in the City
Foundation are co-operating on this conference, which focuses on two themes. The
conference will discuss the theme of child-friendliness on a small scale: the
Child Friendly Communities. Children can have an overview of this scale, which
moreover enables a co-operation of a variety of partners which is easier to
realise than on the level of the municipality. The second theme will offer an
answer to a question that has been asked several times at the former
conferences: when can a city be called a child friendly city, or what are the
Points of Reference for Child Friendly Cities.
Description
More than 300 representatives of municipalities, researchers and other
stakeholders from all over Europe are expected to contribute to the exchanges of
practices and knowledge. The conference will have a multidisciplinary character,
bringing together politicians, urban planners, community workers, youth workers,
civil servants and everyone who’s involved in making communities more child
friendly. To enrich the attendee experience, the Program Committee selects
speakers from cities with exciting experiences on the field and includes
internationally renowned scientists.
