The International Roots Meeting took place in Nairobi 15-20 of November.
Due to the security around UN Security Council Conference taking place at the same time, our program at the UN had to be changed. In waiting for the final report we will update this site continuously with material both in Swedish and English.
The International Roots Meeting is an answer to the Children’s Declaration, which was composed and declared at the Inauguration of the Children’s Meeting Place in September 2001.
