The event featured children's rights ombudsmen including Lise-Lotte from Örebro library, Jenny from Hallsberg library, Emma from Karlskoga library, and Marie from Vivalla library. Library Development Örebro County supported the county's libraries by offering tickets to the conference for competence development and networking in work with children and youth. The organization assists libraries in various ways on children's rights issues.
This year's theme focused on working preventively and promotively together, with an aim to move from reactive to proactive methods. During the conference, topics explored included how to engage early in children's lives before problems arise, how the new Social Services Act can serve as a powerful tool, how a clear rights perspective can alter working methods, how the child's best interests can influence governance, budget, and practice, and how children's participation in decisions affecting them can be strengthened. The exact date of the Children's Rights Days in 2026 and the total number of participants have not been confirmed, nor have specific outcomes or actions from the conference been detailed.
It remains unclear what other organizations besides libraries were involved and how the new Social Services Act specifically empowers libraries in preventive work.
