The overall theme of the Congress implies that children everywhere, regardless of their culture and race, their religion, gender, special needs and characteristics, are entitled to have every opportunity to reach their full potential and be successful in life.
The conference encourages delegates from every member country to attend this important event, as well as early childhood practitioners, academics, government officials, policy makers, medical practitioners, nurses, lawyers, community groups, parents and advocates.
The Congress is the first international gathering of this type to be held in Australia and as required by OMEP, will be conducted in English, Spanish and French. It will provide a platform to highlight OMEP's concern for young children across the world.
The overall theme of the Congress is "One world: Many childhoods". The Congress program will provide opportunities to explore issues such as children in difficult circumstances, innovation in service delivery, indigenous children's needs and services and children's health and social services. You will be challenged to think carefully about the types of programs delivered to young children.
