The 2023 International Symposium on Children and Youth Health and Well-being will take place on 24 November, 2023, at USJ Ilha Verde Campus.
The 2023 International Symposium on Children and Youth Health and Well-being is a one-day event dedicated to scholarly contributions from the fields of social work, psychology, education, public health, medical sciences and other fields that focus on the health and well-being of children and the youth. The Symposium is co-organised by the Faculty of Health Sciences of the University of Saint Joseph Macao (USJ), the Macao Observatory for Social Development of USJ, the Faculty of Education and Psychology of the Universidade Católica Portuguesa (UCP) in Portugal, and the Kiang Wu Nursing College of Macau (KWNC), and sponsored by Macao Foundation.
This interdisciplinary conference aims to serve as a forum for scholars, researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers to connect and make meaningful contributions to knowledge and policy building on children and youth health and well-being, particularly in light of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3.
The 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.
