Hello, everyone.

In recent years there's a rising interest,

worldwide, in think about and putting our efforts together to think and

do, collectively, something about resilience for the world's children.

And there are many examples of, of this, these integrated efforts.

I'm going to just talk about one example today.

And I hope that those of you in the course will share some

other examples of this kind of effort.

The example I want to talk about is the forum on investing in

young children globally.

This is a new forum of the Institute of

Medicine at the National Academies in the United States.

But it's a forum put together and motivated by an international group

of experts who are interested in pulling together what we know of,

the best of what we know about investing in

young children to promote their lifelong health and well-being.

And the members of this forum include both scientists, policy makers,

representatives of humanitarian organizations and foundations.

But it's a group of people who have in common that they want to integrate what we

know and disseminate it to inform the practices all over the world

at the Government and non-government level to try to make a difference for

the success and well being of the world's children.

The forum is new and it is sponsored by the Board on Children,

Youth and Families and the Board on Global Health at the National Academies of

Science and I'm involved in this board and they are meeting all over the world.

Their mission is to try to pull together explore and

integrate the best evidence on what we should be doing to invest in

the future of children globally and they want to have an influence in

shaping a global vision of healthy child development and adult development.

They want to inform those in influential positions to derive policy and

practice with the best evidence that can be assembled from

research around the world as well as from experience on the ground around the world.

It's a very diverse group of people in terms of culture, and

they're doing a lot of activities to try to meet their mission.

There sponsoring workshops and these are open to anyone, you can watch them

online they're webcast and they bring together exciting groups of speakers,

to talk about what we know and how we can invest more successfully,

in the health and wellness of children in, diverse cultural situations.

They also produce reports, on these workshops, which again,

you can look at online and get copies of, very easily on their website.

They also are, you know, sponsoring a dialogue among many kinds of stakeholders

in different sectors, health, education, welfare, and all the other

sectors that influence what happens to promote healthy development in children.

They're producing info graphics they provide links to

all kinds of exciting materials that you can take a look at and

you can follow the conversation among the large group of people that

are joining into this effort by going to the Institute of Medicine.

You can follow the Institute of Medicine on Twitter to see what

this forum is up to.

And if you use the #iYCG, you can pull up the dialog

that's transpiring among the members of this network of

people that are being linked by this forum on investing in young children globally.

So, I hope you'll take a look at what they're doing.

Go to their website.

There's directions about how to do that, but you can easily find them.

If you just put iYCG into a search engine this forum will come up,

and there's a video that I think you'll find interesting on the very

first page describing what their, what these folks are trying to do.

So I hope you'll join and follow that conversation.
