What an inspiring keynote by Professor Tatek Abebe on the last day of #ICFC2025. A passionate and powerful journey through children as commons and commoners, collective existence, and communing care. We also experienced moving music activism for regenerative futures.

Our second keynote at #ICFC2025 was James Bury (Interim MD, CoramBAAF, UK), who gave a powerful overview of the care system landscape in England.

He explored pressures from foster care recruitment and retention to post-adoption contact and the challenges of multi-agency collaboration.

On the opening day of #ICFC2025, Prof. Esther Dermott’s thought-provoking keynote on digital technologies and familial relationships explored the role of states, agencies and private companies in mediating the parent-child and school relationship. Off to an inspiring start!
