About

The Children and Youth Perspectives Conference is organised biennially by the Institute of Communication Studies and Journalism, Faculty of Social Sciences, Charles University. It is an interdisciplinary space for academics, researchers, policymakers and practitioners to discuss innovative research, policy, and practice concerning children and youth's everyday experiences.

The 2025 iteration of the Children and Youth Perspectives Conference, co-organised with the WONDRE project funded by the European Union (ERC StG), asks what remains in children and youth’s lived experiences, in childhood and youth studies, and in research and practice with children and youth, that has yet to be brought to the fore or is long known but still not sufficiently addressed.
