Celebration of childhood to be held this summer

Bath will be hosting the first International Festival of Childhood, promising thought-provoking talks and presentations on the latest global research on child health and wellbeing.

During the four-day event from 29 June to 2 July, a varied panel of experts, ranging from scientists and pedagogues to early years practitioners and policy-makers, will be presenting ideas about modern childhood.

The festival will run alongside Bath’s annual Forest of Imagination, a contemporary arts event that attracted more than 10,000 visitors in 2016, and is now in its fourth year. This year's theme is Forest on the Edge.

The International Festival of Childhood will focus on four major topics, with each conference day running under a specific motto: The Natural Child (day one), Play, Creativity and Movement (day two), The Impact of Culture (day three) and Rights of the Child (day four).
