How can infant-toddler educators uphold the human rights of our youngest children? What about the rights of educators and how do these impact on those of the child? How might ideas about human rights vary across communities and cultures?

This conference brings together practitioners, researchers, and advocates to discuss and debate these questions and more.

A packed program, including keynote addresses, presentations by educators and researchers, and discussion panels will ensure that there will be lively conversations and debate.

The conference theme is – A right to learn – A right to thrive. For more information, see here, or visit http://events.mq.edu.au/events/3rd-infants-and-toddlers-conference/event-summary-3fe0a60c8abd496099a09fd9b8cdfa9b.aspx?dvce=1 to register
