The Global Summit on Childhood

March 28-31, 2012
Washington, D.C., USA

A "Global Summit on Childhood" conference will be held in Washington, DC. We hope to raise public awareness about challenges facing childhood today.

Attendees will have an opportunity to network with others who have a broad range of perspectives on childhood and education today. This summit will challenge you to consider childhood from a GLOBAL POINT OF VIEW and provide you with a forum to come together with educators and advocates FROM MANY NATIONS who are concerned about providing a positive childhood experience for the youth of the world.

Delegates - All participants attending the Global Summit on Childhood are viewed as delegates to the Summit. Each participant brings with them ideas, information, attitudes, and knowledge about the condition of childhood from their particular global region, nation, city, village, or community. Each participant is, therefore, a representative of a certain geographic location and culture. When delegates return home, they are expected to share what they learned at the Summit with others. Delegates serve an important role in disseminating knowledge and supporting continuity in the global conversation about childhood.
