There seems to be more and more focus on how fast we can get children to achieve the next milestone or move to the next stage, without enough reflection on the goals of that race. What is being lost in the process? What does it mean to be a child today? What do we conceive childhood to be and how do we keep hold of these core values?

The purpose of this conference is to create a space to address these important questions in light of some of the pressing concerns of our moment in time. By doing so, we hope to reaffirm the importance of childhood in its own right.
