Porto will host the 11th World Congress on Childhood and Youth, a unique forum for reflection and dialogue on the challenges and opportunities facing children and young people in a constantly changing world. Under the theme "Navigating Diversity, (In)equality, and Inclusion," the event proposes an innovative and critical approach to understanding how cultural, social, and economic challenges influence the life trajectories of children and young people.

By bringing together specialists, educators, policymakers, and young people from around the world, the congress will foster inclusive debates and promote strategies that reduce inequalities, celebrating diversity as an essential asset for building fairer and more equitable societies. Porto, with its history of welcoming and intercultural exchange, offers the ideal setting for this important exchange of ideas and experiences.

The deadline for submitting papers is now open, and oral presentations or posters can be submitted.

The Chair of Childhood and Adolescence at the University of La Laguna is a collaborating entity of this important congress.
