From Barnafrid (Children’s Peace):
“In June 2015, the government decided to award Linköping University a mission to host a national knowledge center, Barnafrid, with the aim of collecting and disseminating knowledge about violence and other abuses against children. Barnafrid's work is carried out in accordance with the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the sustainable development goals according to Agenda 2030, which are about preventing and stopping violence and exploitation of children…We want the conference to contribute to professionals gaining increased knowledge and understanding of the concept of violence throughout history, but also inspiration and tools to continue developing the work against violence. This is done by taking part in lectures, workshops and other interactive elements such as skills training and role-playing between different professions. This year, Linköping University turns 50 and Barnafrid turns 10.”
