Re: Call for session proposals for the 6th World Congress on Family Law
and Children's Rights, Sydney, 17-20 March 2013

 

I am writing to invite you to participate in the 6th World Congress on
Family Law and Children's Rights to be held in Sydney from 17-20 March
2013. 

 

The World Congress on Family Law and Children's Rights is a significant
event held every four years to bring international attention to the
serious issue of the safety of children. Supported by the United
Nations, the World Congress is an Australian initiative with worldwide
support and recognition.  Attracting judges, lawyers, legislators,
policy makers, doctors, healthcare professionals, non-government
organisations, educators and human rights organisations, the World
Congress seeks outcomes that promote and protect the rights of children.

For further information about the event, you can visit the official
website at: www.lawrights.asn.au/

 

While the conference predominantly focuses on law and children's rights,
the 2013 Congress provides The Alannah and Madeline Foundation with an
opportunity to emphasise the integral role that schools, the community
and children can play in cybersafety education and innovation.

 

The Alannah and Madeline Foundation has been asked to partner with the
6th World Congress to organise a stream dedicated to cybersafety issues
and best practice. We invite you and/or those in your networks to submit
a proposal for a session as part of the cybersafety stream, which we
envisage to encompass the following broad issues: 

 

*             Cybersafety: youth, children and the legal frameworks

*             Psychology and sociology of online behaviour

*             Cybersafety education and the role of schools, children,

families and the community

*             Disadvantaged and vulnerable youth in the online world

*             The nature and design of online environments and their

suitability for youth

*             Positive opportunities for youth in the online world.

 

In striving for an informative and engaging event, we are assembling a
range of presentation types, from lecture-style to highly interactive
workshops. Further information regarding submissions can be found below.

 

The deadlines for proposal submissions are as follows:

 

*             Call for proposals closes:               Friday 3rd August

*             Inform speakers:                             Friday 17th
August

 

We hope you will give consideration to becoming involved in the 6th
World Congress on Family Law and Children's Rights; it will have a major
impact in helping to protect children in Australia and across the world.

 

 

The Foundation is coordinating the cybersafety stream, so please send
your proposals and/or queries to:

Jeremy Blackman, Senior Cybersafety Specialist -
