The Centre for the Studies of Children's Culture offers an unique education in Children's culture as a main field of study.

Within the interdisciplinary subject of Children's Culture you will study aesthetic expressions such as literature, music, dance, theater, film and TV for children. Various kinds of digital media, consumption, cultural policy, children’s play and peer culture are also important areas of study as are the rights of the child.

Upon completion, the courses in Children’s Culture will have helped you develop theoretical and methodical tools for a qualified study of aesthetic and cultural practices within the field. As a subject, Children’s Culture is closely connected with child cultural practices and research in a broad sense.
