In this dialogue, we will explore how African approaches to Early Childhood Learning and Development, alongside formal and informal education structures and community cultures, can shape the experiences and development of young children.
Together, we will reflect on how we can create environments that:
• nurture a strong sense of belonging
• build resilience from an early age
• encourage confidence and self-expression
• strengthen the relationships and communities that surround children
• lay foundations for children to grow into strong and engaged leaders in their communities
We are delighted to welcome Pippa Jarvis Walaa Salem, Ph.D. Dr. Ife Akinsheye Damon Ruby Motaung Silvana Reda as discussants to spark our thinking.
We invite parents, educators, researchers, practitioners, community members, policymakers, young people and anyone interested in the futures we are creating for our children to join the conversation!
