Hybrid conference, to be held 23rd – 26th June.

Registration is now open for the 2022 RECE hybrid conference “Being together in/with place: Reimagining pedagogies in transformational times.” The conference will take place June 23-26 at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver Canada. We have the privilege of being hosted in the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh), sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) and Shishá7lh (Sechelt) peoples.

We invite you to attend the conference in-person or online (synchronously). Our four-day program will include a range of papers, panel conversations, sharing circles and more from Indigenous and non-Indigenous colleagues and friends from around the world.

The 2022 hybrid conference will offer the RECE community the opportunity to come together to reaffirm our sense of community, agency, creativity, and commitment to co-creating a more liveable, equitable, just, caring, and welcoming world for children, families, and early childhood educators around the globe. The conference takes the theme of place as a multilayered relational construct, which can help us to open up, hold, and sustain generative conversations across disciplines and from our different locations.

Both registration and accommodation are now open.

Commonly known as Vancouver, this Land is famous for its immersion in nature. The city sits between the mountains and the sea, surrounded by rain forests. The UBC campus, located in the territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nation, is also stunning, with many opportunities for walking and enjoying spectacular views. We trust that you will feel compelled to engage and learn with the people and cultures of this beautiful land as we come together to be in/with place to reimagine pedagogies in transformational times
