Introduction THE 33rd FICE CONGRESS AND 2nd CYC WORLD CONFERENCE “Together Towards a Better World for Children, Adolescents and Families” will take place in Vienna, Austria from 22nd to 25th August 2016. The congress is co-hosted by FICE (International Federation of Educative Communities), CYC Net (The International Child and Youth Care Network), MAG 11 (Youth and Family Welfare Office, City of Vienna), Danube University Krems, University of Applied Sciences FH Campus Wien, CELCIS (Centre for excellence for looked after children in Scotland), IKJ (Institute for Child and Youth Services) and supported by many partner organisations. Co-hosts and partners seek to bring together individuals, associations, organisations and stakeholders, who work with vulnerable children, young people and families around the world on local, regional, national and international levels. The aim is to build supportive and sustainable professional networks and to join our forces in order to work for the rights of the vulnerable children and young people. The conference aims to provide an overview and exchange on the work with children and young people in alternative care around the world. Based on four starting points – history, practice, applied science and innovation - the topics will range from the findings of the previous FICE Congress in Bern (Switzerland) in October 2013 on ‘Ways Towards Inclusion’ to other innovative ideas in the fields of: development, quality assurance, results from empirical research in the field of youth-care, rights of the child, unaccompanied minors and migration, foster care, youth and globalisation, training models, new approaches in child and youth
care, trauma pedagogy, care leaver, child and adolescent psychiatry, child and youth care in the Latin American, North American, Asian, Pacific, African and European context, and many others. The scientific committee, headed by Silke Gahleitner, professor for integrative therapy and psychosocial interventions at the Danube University Krems, and supported by Emmanuel Grupper, Chairman of the Editorial Board and Vicepresident of FICE International, will ensure a well-balanced and varied program. Youth Camp Following the tradition of FICE congresses, the participation of young people will play an important role. The youth camp prior to the congress aims to encourage the exchange of experiences and ideas as well as the acquisition and development of skills of young adults who have been living in alternative care and are now in the transition to an independent life (care leaver). Findings and proposals will be incorporated into the main conference. Parallel One Day Symposia For those participants, who would like to explore a topic in greater depth, we offer parallel one day symposia the day after the congress, on Friday 26th August 2016. Study Visits and Side Programs To complete the program, study visits and cultural and touristic programs during and after the congress will be offered to the participants additionally.
Welcome Remarks Hermann Radler, President FICE Austria, Vicepresident FICE Europe It is my great pleasure as congress president to welcome you to the 33rd FICE Congress and 2nd CYC World Conference. Vienna is my home base and as a well travelled person I am always happy to be back here. This is why I am delighted to share this wonderful town with you. An exciting and diverse program is being currently organized by the committee. The congress will appropriately consider all aspects of professional child and youth care today. A superior faculty of speakers drawn from Europe, the U.S., Canada, South America, Africa, Asia, and Australia will be addressing these issues. We can also promise international delegates an exciting and uniquely Viennese social program when they visit this city. A host of tours during and after the congress will suit both, sightseer and professionals. Dashenka Kraleva, President FICE International Welcome to the 33rd FICE Congress and 2nd CYC World Conference “Together Towards a Better World for Children, Adolescents and Families”. If you take the issue about children at risk and the necessity to join forces to make this world a better place for them to heart, you will definitely find interesting and important topics in our agenda. FICE International‘s Congress in Bern, Switzerland, in 2013 examined and showed us the ways of inclusion and we were able to gather the crystals of different good practices. In August 2016 in Vienna we will not only upgrade our information and look for innovative ideas and good practices, we will also gain more energy, inspiration and strength to give support to children and families and fight in order to improve the world in which children live. Heather Modlin, Board of Governors Member, CYC-Net On behalf of CYC-Net, I am very pleased to welcome you to the 33rd FICE Congress and 2nd CYC World Conference. As Co-chair of the 1st CYC World Conference “Connecting at the Crossroads” held in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, I am especially excited to see the connections continue. Child and youth care workers, social pedagogues, social workers, therapists, foster carers, and many other professionals involved with children, youth and families from around the world will gather together to share knowledge and ideas related to improving the lives of those we serve. I am honoured to be a part of this group and look forward to an educational and invigorating experience in Vienna. Silke Gahleitner, Head of the scientific committee, Danube University Krems I would also like to extend a warm welcome to you all here at this exciting 33rd FICE congress. The Danube University Krems and its Department of Psychotherapy and Psychosocial Health have – with the support of many other colleagues - tried to create a high-profile and diverse program for you all. I am particularly pleased that the program provides an opportunity for a large number of colleagues working in both research and practice to meet, to discuss and to further develop ‚best practice‘ from the standpoints of many different approaches.
