Childhood on the move
This event has now been postponed. To be kept updated on when this will be reschedule for, please email events@bera.ac.uk.
Please join us for the BERA Children and Childhood special interest group one-day conference. This one-day event will bring together academics, practitioners, teachers, policy makers, students and those interested in global childhood experiences to engage critically in debates around Childhoods on the Move.
We want to encourage critical debate from a practitioner, philosophical, political, therapeutic and educational perspective and we will be exploring the experiences of Refugees, International Adoptees and Third Culture Kids amongst others groups during this research and practice focused day.
Come and join us as we discuss language acquisition and maintenance, transitions, grief and loss, secular ethics and wellbeing, trauma and mental health, education and schools and the implications for practitioners.
