Subject: [cye-l] Fwd: Children and Young People: Their Environments
Conference
Colleagues
I thought you might like to know about this forthcoming conference on
children, youth and environments, which will be held in the beautiful snowy
Dunedin in their mid-winter, next June 2001. The call for papers is also
attached in case you would like to submit a paper. I think it will be a
wonderful opportunity to get together -- researchers, policy makers,
practioners and young people -- for three days of intense discussions about
how to provide the best possible environments for children and youth. I
hope you'll submit a paper and join us.
All the best
gary
