This seminar brings together academics engaged in research with children. During monthly meetings, experts will deliver lectures and participants will discuss relevant literature. The seminar is designed to
encourage child-centred approaches to children studies and to develop theory useful to cognitive and social sciences, with the accent on anthropology. The core aim of inspiring academic research with children will be stimulated through joint research projects, publications and conferences with national and international partners. Active dialogue is sought and facilitated with stakeholders and policy makers working on child centred programmes. Specialists conducting research with adolescents are also cordially invited to participate in the seminar.
