‘Global solutions to working with vulnerable children and young people’
- Sharing international insights into the inclusion of socially and emotionally vulnerable children and young people.
- Celebrating their resilience in surviving trauma, loss and displacement.
We are very excited to be planning this international conference. Its success depends on the contributions made by keynote speakers and presenters such as yourself. The conference programme will include 4 or 5 keynote speakers but much of the content will be the sharing of research, practice and experiences of those academics and practitioners working with, and for, these vulnerable children and young people as well as the CYP and their families themselves. Key themes are likely to include:
- Mental health
- Displacement
- Inclusion
- The lived experience
Presenters
We hope you will be interested in applying to come to the conference as a presenter. Presenters will usually work with a group of conference delegates for 20 minutes, sometimes longer. If you apply you will need to provide an Abstract. This is simply a way of you describing your work to us so we can decide how your idea fits into the conference theme and organise how we group presenters. Sessions will usually be an hour long and three of you will present in turn t o a group of up to 20 delegates. Many presenters also bring a PowerPoint to share with the delegates, and we can help you set this up. Individuals may co-author any number of abstracts but there is a limit of two submissions per registered presenter.
Extended Deadline!
Please submit your abstract(s) to SEBDA-IC-2023@sebda.org
- If you haven't managed to submit your abstract yet you will be pleased to know we have extended the deadline to 12 July 2023. But please don't delay - the Academic Panel is working very hard reviewing the many abstracts we have already received and we need to review all the abstracts before the programme can be pulled together.
- You will receive a response to your submission by the end of July at the latest.
