Event: The World Forum on Early Care and Education

The World Forum on Early Care and Education is unlike any other gathering. The program is crafted to build relationships, expand perspectives, and provoke new thinking. Public status or recognition are not required to take on any role at World Forum, nor are any presenters paid for speaking. Instead we rely on individuals to step forward and share their experiences and insights. All delegates – on stage and in the audience – share an equal voice. Everyone has something to learn and something to share.

Join Early Childhood professionals, colleagues and advocates from 50+ countries for an informative and inspiring experience as we assemble in Vancouver, Canada to grow a global movement to impact the futures of young children and their families. Expect open dialogue, sincere storytelling, and cross-culture curiosity as structured and informal opportunities will connect YOU with other like-minded individuals from across the globe.

Over 275 early childhood professionals from 37 countries are hard at work finalizing their presentations. Join us for a hands-on exploration on fostering wonder, curiosity, and joy, followed by a deep dive into holistic, inclusive, play-based practices, focusing on the benefits of nature and using the environment as the third teacher our Natural Pod CEO, Bridgitte Alomes who will be co-hosting a sessions title: Connecting with Nature through Intentionality

The event runs Sunday, April 14th, 2024 through until Friday, April 19th, 2024. Consider attending if you are in the Vancouver, BC, Canada area.
