It Takes an Early Childhood Ecosystem for All Young Children to Thrive

The 2024 conference theme recognizes that we live in disruptive and increasingly challenging times where the concern for protecting and asserting the importance of safe, healthy, and happy childhoods is more pressing than ever. Recent years, especially since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and continuing with economic downturns and devastating consequences of wars, have clearly demonstrated how rapidly changes are occurring, exposing vulnerabilities not only in societies but also in early childhood systems.

Through its strands, the theme of ISSA 2024 Conference invites discussion on:

What changes in early childhood systems are demanded by the contexts in which we are living?

Which policies and programs have been transformative and initiated systemic changes at local, country, regional level that improve the quality of childhoods?

What system changes are required to address acute or emerging issues, for which solutions still need to be identified, researched, and developed?
