The Childhood Summit

This inaugural summit will be held in Brisbane in 2019, and continue annually, moving around Australia, augmenting the child-centric conversation, by-in and systemic change for children.

​The 2019 Childhood Summit Theme is hosted by Nature Play Queensland and concentrates on ‘play’ especially outdoors.

​

The Childhood Summit will bring together thought leaders, gatekeepers, key influencers and practitioners across the community at large.

The results will contribute to the national conversation and movement towards actions that will protect our children’s overall health, wellbeing, life satisfaction, and the planet as well as increase the connectedness and cohesiveness of our communities, as well rally around our young.
