Register for this year's Children's Rights Conference

On November 20, Jönköping’s Children’s Rights Conference, themed Trust and the Rights of the Child in a Changing World, will be taking place. The conference explores children’s and young people’s experiences of trust in everyday life and in encounters with societal institutions.
