We look back on the 2023 Child in the City World Conference:
‘Building the Future!’ with satisfaction.
We would like to heartily thank you for a successful 11th World Conference of Child in the City.
Brussels, the centre of European democracy, was the host city for this year’s 11th Child in the City World Conference.
The International Child in the City Foundation, together with the Brussels Capital Region and Flemish Community Commission have hosted the conference at the Royal museum of Fine Arts, focusing once more on how we can all best work for the interests of children in cities everywhere.
