Online webinar including a live Q&A session

What does it mean for a child to grow up feeling different, and how can we ensure that their identity, heritage and background are recognized, understood and valued?

The Nordic Adoption Council warmly invites you to join an insightful webinar with Dr Tam Chipawe Cane, Associate Professor of Social Work at the University of Sussex and founder of the AFDiT framework.

Drawing on a Zimbabwean folktale in which a baboon rescues a young hare, Dr Cane will invite us to reflect on what it means to be different and the importance of recognizing and affirming every child’s identity and sense of belonging.
