The Fourth International CHILDLIFE Conference

Welcome to the fourth International CHILDLIFE Conference on Children and Young People in Everyday Life and Professional Practices. The theme is Contested Childhoods: Democracy, diversity, educational and professional responsibility.

 

The CHILDLIFE Conference 2026 will explore the intersections of democracy, education, childhood, and diversity in a contested time. We aim to highlight these themes in the practical fields of education and the faculty of pedagogy, health, and social work related to children and youth. Additionally, the conference will address the faculty of research and the education of students/professionals.

We invite you to come and enjoy three professionally interesting days at our campus, right in the middle of Oslo city centre.
