Young People, Resilience and Wellbeing: Human Capital in a Culturally Diverse Global Village

This event will immediately precede the Olympic Games in London in 2012 and will contribute to the celebration of the richness of the cultural diversity in the City of London in which cultures from all over the world are represented.

Conference Themes:

  • Young people, emotional wellbeing and recovery
  • Young people, physical health and wellbeing
  • The role of arts, laws, music, sports and humanities within the wider society, in promoting the wellbeing of young people in a diverse and global village

The event will model participation and inclusion of young people and the 2012 games.

Specific issues will include:

  • Cultural adaptation in the face of diverse values and religious systems that help wellness, resilience and healing
  • Research, clinical practice, policy and service development to optimise wellbeing and recovery for diverse cultures as immigrants in a host society as well as in an international context
  • Social and human capital regeneration, health and social enterprise

This event will be held in association and supported by careif.
