What does ‘listening to children’s voices’ actually mean? What are children’s rights? Why don’t we all - adults and children alike - think about this together?

Let’s explore the importance of children expressing their feelings and how adults should respond to them. Let’s also consider how we can apply these ideas in our daily lives.

This lecture is in Japanese only.

Speaker: Chiaki Shirai

Family sociologist (Shizuoka University, Japan) and visiting scholar at the University of Auckland. She works as a children’s advocate within the Japanese foster care system.
