Please join us for lunch, a panel discussion, drinks and networking on Monday June 29th at the Great Hall, to celebrate 30 years of Child Rights Teaching at King’s College London. Lunch will be served from 12 midday, and drinks will follow the panel discussion.

The event will host a panel discussion between leading child rights advocates and practitioners in the UK and globally, as they answer the question ‘What is the biggest challenge to child rights in your work/field at the moment and where do you see hope or progress?’. Time will be given for questions afterwards. The event will give you a taste of the teaching we have done over the past 30 years at King’s and the impact this has had on our many students, who now make important contributions to the field of child rights in many different disciplines around the world.

Panellists

  • Professor Gerison Landsdown (International Child Rights Advocate)
