Conferences
Every two years, the Child in the City Foundation organises the Child in the City World Conference. Started in 2002, each year the World Conference has been held in a different European city.
From 2017 on, we also organise International Seminars, each focused on a specific theme to really go in-depth.
Upcoming events

Would you like to learn, share and connect with the community on various topics about child-friendly cities?
