Further conference details

The University of Central Lancashire is proud to host the second international conference of the International Childhood and Youth Research Network (http://www.icyrnet.net/).

The first conference was in Nicosia in May 2008, on the theme ‘Child and Youth Research in the 21st Century: A Critical Appraisal’, and was attended by delegates from all over the world. The 2012 conference will take place in Preston, in North West England, and will be on the theme ‘Children, Young People and Adults: Extending the Conversation’.

The international research conference is aimed at researchers (both new and experienced), policy-makers and practitioners from all around the world. It will take place side by side with an international gathering of children and young people, currently being planned around broad themes of participation and citizenship. Shared plenary sessions, and a series of smaller workshops, will create spaces where children, young people and adults can come together and engage in dialogue.
