The Planning Committee of the International Society for Child Indicators (ISCI) announces its 8th Conference “Children’s Rights and Opportunities in an Unequal World: Research, Policy and Intervention” which will convene in Gramado/RS, Brazil on May 25-27, 2022.
The general objective of the Conference is to bring together researchers from different continents in order to increase knowledge on the Indicators and Rights of Children and Adolescents. The event will provide a more critical view on Public and Social Policies and hopes to offer strategies, opportunities and strengthen spaces and contexts for the promotion of equality of well-being for all children.
The ISCI 2022 Conference seeks to highlight excellence, innovation and originality in research with political and practical implications. Academics working in the research of children’s indicators in any country and of any theoretical reference are invited to send research abstracts.
