Sign up to be part of a multi-perspective, collaborative approach to public health innovations both local, regional and international. We will be focusing on inclusion, under-represented voices, technological innovations and co-created design solutions.
We will explore the barriers to, and potential to support improvement in, young people’s right to self-motivated playful recreation and daylight exposure through design driven innovation, collaboration and sharing lived experiences, knowledge from practice and scientific insights.
If you are interested to present or attend as a municipal public health representative partner please make contact with rigmor.baraas@usn.no. We can support delegates with travel and accommodation.
We will explore together, as youth, light researchers, educators, urban planners and designers and health practitioners, how the preventive health benefits of outdoor recreation and daylight exposure are part of children and young people's Right to Health, Article 24 and the Right to Play Article 31 in the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) (United Nations, 1989)
