We invite seminars, colloquia, workshops, learning circles and posters that explore the issues and questions that address the broad conference themes of the place of children's rights, human rights and equity throughout the early childhood and children's services field. Papers that explore these themes as they apply to pedagogies, practices, programs, policies, theories and research will be especially welcomed.

We invite papers that share stories of hope, challenge and/or change in relation to these themes and that inspire others to work for change within their areas of responsibility in children's services and early childhood.

The conference attracts a diverse international audience and includes practitioners, policy-makers, reseachers, trainers, children's advocates and activists.
