BICON Conference

BICON is an inter-agency cooperation of 8 leading international NGOs focused on alternative care for children.

Since 2014, BICON has been a leading conference focussed on the rights of children and young people without parental care (CWPC). Previously hosted by Udayan Care and now delivered by, most importantly, young people as experts with lived experience as well as a coalition of organisations consisting of Better Care Network; Family for Every Child; Forget Me Not, Hope and Homes for Children; Lumos; Save the Children; SOS Children’s Villages; Udayan Care. BICON has SAIEVAC as technical partner. BICONs are conceived as a regional advocacy platform to bring stakeholders working on child and youth care together for sharing, learning and connecting.
