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.
Over 275 early childhood professionals from 37 countries are hard at work finalizing their presentations. Here’s a sneak peek at just a few of this year’s featured speakers.
