Overview
Welcome
It is fair to conclude that the 1st International Adolescence workshop was a great success! So many people have contributed in so many ways to turn this event into a smoothly running meeting with many very interesting presentations and group work sessions. There was a very good atmosphere for discussion and networking.
125 attendees from 25 different countries participated in the workshop
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we would like to express our appreciation to our sponsor Johnson & Johnson, for their generous support. We would also like to thank our endorsers & our participants for their outstanding efforts.
