Annual Reports

The program's fourth national conference

On International Children's Day, October 2, our fourth national conference was held.

Just over 300 registered participants had the opportunity to listen to lectures by, among others, Birgitta Persdotter at Karlstad University who talked about the SAVE study.

The participants also learned about the IGOR project. During the afternoon of the conference, the participants were offered to listen to 22 parallel seminars.

At the seminars, knowledge was presented about interventions against violence and also about children and young people's experiences of violence in close relationships.

Research in 4 minutes

We have now started work on presenting our research results in shorter films of 4 min.

These films will be published in our YouTube channel, where those who are interested can get a first insight into the knowledge about coordinated interventions regarding violence in intimate relationships that our research program has found through our various research projects. Stay tuned during the spring on our YouTube.

The program's third national conference

On International Children's Day, October 3, our third national conference was held.

During the morning, 700 registered participants were able to listen to lectures by, among others, Cathy Humphries from the University of Melbourne, who spoke on the topic of listening to children.

The participants also learned about the dilemmas in the social service's support for women exposed to violence, as well as an appreciated panel discussion on cooperation.

During the afternoon of the conference, the participants were offered to listen to 22 parallel seminars.

At the seminars, knowledge was presented about interventions against violence and also about children and young people's experiences of violence in close relationships.

Our own unique illustrations

We are very happy to tell you that in collaboration with the renowned illustrator and artist Tyra von Zweigbergk we have produced a number of Sivin-Barn illustrations that help us communicate the results of our research and studies.

Over the years, Tyra has done many exciting collaborations with, among others, Ikea, so we are incredibly happy that she wanted to collaborate with us. You can see some of our new illustrations here on the website.

The programme's second national conference.

In the mission to communicate knowledge about the research area, conferences are an important part and in 2021 we have carried out the program's second conference.

On International Children's Day, October 4, our second national conference was held. During the morning, the roughly 600 participants listened to lectures about violence during the Covid pandemic, children's experiences of parental stalking, trauma-focused treatment and the dynamics between practice and research.

During the afternoon of the conference, the participants were offered to listen to 19 parallel seminars. At the seminars, knowledge was presented about interventions against violence and also about children and young people's experiences of violence in intimate relationships.

Presenting research in short films

An important priority in our research program is to communicate the results of the research to the people it affects.

An important priority in our research program is to communicate the results of the research to the people it affects.

One way to do this is to produce short films that can be shared on social media. During the year, we produced 3 films. One that presents the research program as a whole. An animated film that is aimed specifically at children and tells what our research is about and what a researcher in our program does.

We have also produced a film about one of our work packages in order to seek informants for a study about experiences of coercion and pressure in connection with contacts with authorities.

You can find all the films here on our website and on our YouTube channel: Sivin-barn

National conference completed

In the task of communicating knowledge about the research area, conferences are an important part. On October 5, a national conference was held where Sivin-Barn collaborated with the Central Confederation of Social Work (CSA), which was the main organizer.

The conference participants had the opportunity to take part in interesting and rewarding lectures by Marianne Hester, Carl-Göran Svedin, Margareta Hydén and Mikael Thörn. During the afternoon of the conference, roughly 500 people participated in 21 parallel seminars. At the seminars, the important and interesting research project on how children and young people are affected by violence in close relationships was presented, and the participants could also take part in studies where interventions and methods of support were presented.

Website launched

On April 29, Sivin-Child's website was launched in Swedish and on November 23, our English-language version Sivin-Child was presented

An important part of Sivin-Child is communication with what is happening in the research program and the results the work packages generate.

In order to give the program good opportunities to reach out, during this first year we have created a website for the research program in Swedish and in English.

Here, visitors can, among other things, get more information about the work packages and take part in published results. We have also created pages on the website directly aimed at children and young people with age-appropriate information.
