RECE Global Conversations: An Online Discussion Series

Four Voices, One Conversation: Scholar-Educators Dialoguing in Times of Crisis
27/28 March 2024

This is an online conversation among four scholar-educators during which each will share their insights about speaking with children, pre-service and early career teachers, and peers in a world gone awry. How can we provide safety, comfort and hope for those in our care when we ourselves are often at a loss for words and understanding? What are the best ways to manage the swirl of emotions – confusion, crisis, grief, and despair – that are common responses to global events now and in the future? The goal is to prompt reflective conversations as we respond inwardly and outwardly to a world in which safety and joy have been breached for so many.

Land Education, Place, and Climate Justice in Early Childhood
28 / 29 April 2021

This event will cover issues and concerns with Land Education, Place, and Climate Justice as they relate to and are impacted by early childhood practices and everyday activisms.
