IDC is the premier international conference for researchers, educators and practitioners to share the latest research findings, innovative methodologies and new technologies in the areas of inclusive child-centered design, learning and interaction. The theme for IDC2025 is hope – IDC2025 aims to join together different generations to dream about and act upon a better future for us all. Even if the world around us can be worrisome, and children can feel sad and helpless due to on-going discussions on wars, health problems, and political struggles, adults should try to find ways for supporting children to remain brave, hopeful, and kind towards all, also towards those who are different from us. IDC2025 envisions a life full of bravery, kindness, and hope.
