2024 International Symposium on Children and Youth Health and Well-being

The 2024 International Symposium on Children and Youth Health and Well-being is a interdisciplinary conference aims to be a forum for scholars, practitioners, and decision-makers, to connect and make meaningful contributions to knowledge and policy building on children and youth health and well-being.

This will be a two-day event, co-organized by Macao Observatory for Social Development, Guangdong University of Foreign Studies which will be dedicated to scholarly contributions. We welcome contributions from scholars and researchers, in the fields of Social Work, Psychology, Education, Public Health, and Medical Sciences and other areas that focus on children and youth health and well-being, particularly in light of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3.

The Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG3) is to ensure healthy lives and promote the well-being for children and youth. Health and well-being are important at every of one’s life, starting from the beginning. Childhood is a crucial stage in human development and respecting the “best interest of the child” should be considered a primary social concern (United Nation’s Convention on the Rights of Children,1990). Ensuring that children are happy and socially integrated is a precondition to promote social well-being and development. Still, many challenges exist today to the full protection of children, both regionally and globally.
