FICE CONGRESS 2000. In
co-operation with EUSARF. THE CENTURY OF THE CHILD Changes in views on Residential Child and Youth Care Retrospect and Perspectives. The title is taken from a book published a hundred years ago surveying the experience of children in the 19th Century and predicting that the 21st Century could be "the century of the child." FICE is an international childcare organisation which has held congresses every two years since its inception in 1948. They are typically attended by 300 - 400 workers from 30 - 40 countries, and provide an excellent opportunity for networking and picking up ideas, even when the formal programme is weak. This year, the Dutch National Section is organising the Congress. They are a strong section, highly professional and well organised, and the Congress promises to be particularly well run. We don't see congresses of this quality in this country very often - (except for those run by the Scottish Residential Child Care Centre) - a trip to Maastricht in May is recommended. |

AIEJI (otherwise known as L'Association Internationale des Educateurs Sociaux) is holding its Fifteenth World Congress from 6 - 9 June 2001 at Barcelona in Spain. The working languages for the Congress will be English, French, Spanish (the three official AIEJI languages) and Catalan. The theme is Ethics and Quality in Socio-educational Work, and the aims of the Congress are to look at the conditions essential to enable social educators to do a good job, to consider the diversity of values found in most cultures, and to consider the role of ethics in socio-educational practice. AIEJI Congresses take place every four years and they tend to attract several hundred people involved in the care and education of children and young people, including quite a few delegates from developing countries in Africa and Central and South America as well as those involved more frequently in such events from Europe and North America. The United Kingdom is very badly represented in most AIEJI events, and there is much that delegates from this country could learn from participation. Early registration is recommended before 1 January 2001. That may sound a long way off, but anyone interested in running a workshop should get in touch now. The Congress Secretary is to be found at : Suport Serveis, Calvet 30-32, 08021 Barcelona, Spain. Tel. 0034 93 2017571. Fax 0034 93 2019789. E-mail suport@deinfo.es And, by the way, the prices are all in Euros. |
