The conference served as a platform for professional dialogue and brought together researchers, lawyers, human rights advocates, representatives of the academic community, and civil society organizations. Participants discussed key challenges facing children and youth amid growing global instability.

Among the participants and speakers were experts from Israel, Germany, South Africa, the United States, Greece, and the United Kingdom, highlighting the international and interdisciplinary nature of the event. 

Particular interest was drawn to the presentation by Dr. Cristiano d’Orsi (South Africa), which focused on the interconnection between climate change, environmental challenges, and social inequality in African regions. In his remarks, he noted that environmental crises directly increase the vulnerability of children by limiting their access to education, healthcare, and basic rights. This presentation became one of the conference’s key international focal points, clearly demonstrating the global scale of the issues under discussion.

The conference also featured substantive discussions involving researchers, human rights advocates, and experts in education and social policy. Special attention was given to the challenges facing the younger generation, including psychological pressure from digital platforms, rising violence in schools, the impact of global crises, and the deterioration of children’s mental and physical health.

During the discussions, the representatives of ALLATRA Israel raised the issue that climate change and environmental pollution by micro- and nanoplastics directly affect children’s health, increasing disease risks and undermining their right to safe conditions of life and development. These topics are of significant interest to the international scientific community and require a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach.

ALLATRA Israel expresses its gratitude to the conference organizers for creating an open and professional platform for dialogue and joint efforts aimed at strengthening peace, fostering mutual understanding, and protecting future generations.
