​

After the successful 2024 edition, which was held in an in-person format, the congress returns entirely to its online format. This new edition continues the commemorations, as it marks the 10th Anniversary of the International Project "Gira con la Infancia", through which children and adolescents actively participate in the congress.

​

For this seventh edition, ten universities from different countries have joined the organization of the event, including the University of La Salle in Colombia, collaborating for the second consecutive year. New partners include:

​

During nine days, the congress will feature the active participation of children, adolescents, teachers, parents, university students, researchers, and experts with significant recognition in the field of childhood and adolescence. With a presentation-debate methodology, each participant will share their knowledge and contribute to the global scientific community.

​

The central theme of this edition is "Educating for Peace," along with sixty other topics of interest, through which proposals can be submitted to participate in various seminars.

​

The VI World Congress included 300 presentations and over 400 children, adolescents, and adults from Africa, America, Asia, and Europe. Previous editions can be viewed in the different playlists available on the "Gira con la Infancia" YouTube channel.
