Ignacio Socías, director of International Relations of the International Federation for Family Development (IFFD), explained the scope and the foundation of the SDGs. In his turn, Dominic Richardson, head of the social and economic policy area of the UNICEF Research Center, referred to the SDGs and the Global Research Project. The Focal Point on families of the United Nations, Renata Kaczmarska, detailed the role played by the family as an active agent of social development and its importance for the fulfillment of the UN 2030 Agenda.
The event started with some welcoming remarks by one of the vicepresidents of the University and a keynote speech of a local academic, prof. Javiera Reyes, on the situation of the family in Chile. The Secretary of Childhood, Carol Bown, was in charge of closing the Seminar.
