Setting the Nordic Agenda: Participation and Inclusion for Children and Young People in the Nordic Region in the Shadow of the Pandemic
– Why have children and young people not been involved and what action can be taken?
The Nordic countries have strong traditions of promoting the well-being of children by emphasizing the right to inclusion and participation for all. The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged this. Welfare services have been less accessible, and schools and leisure time activities have been closed or heavily restricted.
Join us at the Nordic Day for a discussion on how the participation and social inclusion of children and young people was affected during the crisis and what lessons can be learned for the future. You will get opportunity to network and share your experience with colleagues from the Nordics and Europe. Nordic youth will provide insight into why involvement would have made a huge difference. Useful practice will be highlighted and shared. We also introduce you to promising practice for inclusion of children and families with immigrant backgrounds.

Event Details
Digitalisation of social services by government agencies has been one of the core themes for innovation in recent times as well as during the Covid-19 pandemic. Governments and agencies involved in the development and delivery of social services are increasingly moving digital to reach vast numbers of people with a large variety of needs, better use of resources, better social services management, and better people’s service experience.
How digitalisation impacts on people’s experience of social services is the key question of this session, where we will learn about digital tools to support people experiencing homelessness, children in care, young people in their transition to adulthood and people with disabilities in their social inclusion.

We will hear about the findings from studies by the Kings Fund in the UK and beyond to support the development and training of a workforce that should adapt to the new needs of people using social services.
We will find out about innovative proposals to improve the financing of social care and social services so that the workforce can be supported in the best possible way.

This session will focus on international and national approaches to improve the resilience of individuals looking at both our own and community resilience.
We will hear a personal story of overcoming barriers to become a World Guinness Record-holder and how this personal experience is now a tool to support organisations and individuals to build collective and individual resilience.
We will find out how the experience of working in far remote countries can help develop models of resilience which can be useful for us in the Western world to develop our own, and how as society we can implement these models together.
Finally, we will discuss the role of technology and digital inclusion in social services to improve the experience of people using social services and promote their social inclusion.

As we slowly emerged from the Covid-19 crisis, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has lead to a humanitarian crisis which will impact all European countries. In the same way that the Covid-19 crisis tested our social welfare systems, it is expected that the migration crisis caused by Russia’s attack on Ukraine will impact social services across Europe significantly. Having the right tools will be essential to put in place the provision of adequate support while helping with reforms that lead to a long-lasting positive impact.
This session will assess tools available for public authorities and social services to put in place the strategies and programmes that can help them be resilient and prepared to address the negative consequences of overarching crises.
