Articles from the Alliance for Childhood Brussels Conference (Oct. 11-14, 2000) Children create our future with their gifts and talents, yet what is the significance of childhood for us today? Is childhood vanishing under the weight of poverty, commercialism, stress, and social breakdown? With such threats to childhood, how can we create a healthy world for bringing up children? The Alliance for Childhood is a forum where individuals and organisations can work together out of respect for childhood, in a world-wide effort to improve children's lives. The Alliance has convened this Brussels conference to explore the following questions: What is childhood for today's children? What rights do children have? How are parents, professionals and policy makers shaping children's lives? How are commercialism and the media affecting children? What is the impact of hunger, violence, discrimination and abuse? Child labour and prostitution? What guidelines will help form a new environment for children? This lively collection of articles by Conference presenters offers stimulating insight for dialogue about how we can give due respect to children. Here are Cathy Nutbrown's Twenty Questions for Childhoods in the 21st Century, a shortened UN Charter of Children's Rights and Childhood by the Alliance. There are useful references, contacts and resources for networking. Contributors include: Dr. Cathy Nutbrown, University of Sheffield Joan Almon, Alliance for Childhood Dr. Helen Prochazka Dr. O.
