Additional Information
Dear Partners, Friends and Colleagues,
I would like to bring to your attention Child in the Centre, our 2026–2027 interdisciplinary seminar series devoted to children’s wellbeing and rights. The series is now underway, and I hope you might help us reach a wider audience by sharing information about it through your networks.
The series grew from a simple conviction: no single profession or sector can respond to the full complexity of a child’s life. It brings education, law, social work and health into dialogue, together with Indigenous perspectives, policymakers, advocates, community organizations, families and young people themselves.
The series is organized by the Janusz Korczak Association of Canada, University of Victoria, Royal Roads University, Simon Fraser University and University of British Columbia, together with community partners. Rooted in the spirit of Janusz Korczak and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, it seeks to promote a holistic approach to children’s wellbeing and create stronger connections among those who work with and for children.
Our opening seminar, Children as Citizens, took place on September 29 at the University of Victoria. The session began with welcoming remarks by Dean Freya Kodar of the University of Victoria Faculty of Law, followed by my introduction outlining the vision and objectives of the seminar series. Professors Val Napoleon and Hadley Friedland then offered a thought-provoking exploration of children’s rights, belonging and agency through Indigenous legal traditions. A recording of the entire seminar, including the opening remarks and presentations, is available on the Janusz Korczak Association of Canada's YouTube channel.
With the series now underway, I would be very grateful if you could help us make the remaining seminars known as broadly as possible through your mailing lists, newsletters, website, social media or other networks. We hope to reach people across disciplines and sectors and encourage them to participate in the series as a whole, including watching the recording of the opening seminar, rather than only attending the session closest to their own field.
We also invite you to visit and follow our social media channels, where we share information and updates about the seminar series. Each channel provides a link to our website, where you can learn more about the upcoming seminars and register to attend:
