The aim of the conference was to organise a discussion forum for various organisations from Poland and other countries on actual public health topics and raise awareness on collaboration between organisations. The conference was devoted to childrens’ health and how environment affects it.
In total 100 participants attended the conference representing researches, NGOs, professionals and young people all over Poland.
Over 2 days the attendees participated in 5 plenary sessions, including 45 oral communications and two poster sessions with discussions. The presentations covered actual topics for children’s health in Poland as well as in other European countries. Various assessments were presented to illustrate current data and statistics. The conference highlighted the importance of cooperation between different actors such as researchers, professionals and NGOs. Researchers are responsible for showing the society development tendencies by giving concrete data and facts, but NGOs are the recourse that works for improving the environment by using assessments.
