The Conference Workshops all support our theme of MY HEALTH, MY RIGHTS, and the fact that every child and young person has the right to the best possible health. They are intended as a forum for lively discussion on rights-related: ideas, research, good practice, progress, or practical experience relative to the health and wellbeing of children and young people.

The Workshops at the conference will provide a collaborative forum for groups of typically 20-50 participants to support discussions on topics relevant to rights including: health, education, leisure, play, fair and equal treatment, protection from exploitation and the right to be heard. Today children and young people, together with their families and carers, are living in a world of unprecedented change that affects all aspects of their health, wellbeing, growth, and development. So there has never been a more crucial time to understand their rights in relation to their best possible health.
