The Final Conference presented the main research results and the ways through which an impact on grassroots practice, research and policy was envisaged and already partially achieved by the project. The conference was designed as both a research dissemination event – with several sessions gathering researchers from different projects and laboratories active in the same field – and as a gathering opportunity for the worlds of school education, protection of children, research and public policy at different institutional levels.

Research results were considered not only as a source of new knowledge in this multidisciplinary research field, or of new questions to be further studied, but also in terms of suggestions for daily practice at school and in local communities.

During the CHILD-UP Final Conference, the project team of over 25 researchers and 41 high-level panellists met other European researchers, decision-makers, school managers, teachers, mediators and representatives of the migrant communities. The conference was attended by around 80 participants, with more than 100 registration form received.
