The seminar for young scholars, „Children in Multiple Crises“, brings together young researchers (MA and PhD students, postdocs and other early-career researchers) studying child vulnerability in different contexts in Estonia and Germany. Throughout the three seminar days, young researchers from Estonia and Germany will present to each other their research varying from child autonomy in medical care and child sexual abuse to the COVID-19 effects on children’s wellbeing in schools. Furthermore, to provide a further impulse to discussions, internationally known and recognised childhood researchers Prof. Sabine Andresen and Prof. Dagmar Kutsar will give their input. Prof. Sabine Andresen will also give an open lecture, which is open not only to the students at the University of Tartu but also to professionals working with children in vulnerable life situations.
This seminar of the Baltic-German University Liaison Office is supported by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) with funds from the Foreign Office of the Federal Republic Germany.
