Consultants and Collaborations for Excellence

While viewing the Global Alliance World Forum website, I discovered the link "OnDesign for Children Working Forum". This is a global collaborative group advocating environment designs for children. They are now accepting applications for other early childhood professional interested in presenting early childhood environment information at their next international collaborative gathering, scheduled June, 2012. Claire Warden, and educational consultant, has been confirmed as participating in the upcoming event. Ms Warden is an award winning lecturer also know for her work in motivational math and connecting children with the natural world. Many of her methods are accepted/practiced in early childhood programs in several countries around the world, inspiring policymakers to implement her methods into policy. For more information on Ms Warden and her work check out her blog spot@ http://claire-warden.blogspot.com/2011/11/let-children-play-claire-warden.html. She is truly an advocate for "play" in early childhood settings. Another confirmed participanth is Michele Zini,editor of "Children, Spaces, Relations". Besides editing he also keeps an eye on Africa's financial conditions on thier way out of poverty. A good way to look for opportunities to advocate for monies to improve conditions for young children there. These people are on the front lines of a war of which we have all signed up for, advocates for the well-being of all young children. As far as equity is concerned this is a clear indication that the gaps of inequalities are closed one link at a time being joined to the main chain. This is just one area, but equally important to the whole. One might think you have not reached the point in your EC careers to make an international impact. Keeping abreast of issues by information provided on these different website might very well find areas where you can join in...Who knows what can happen.
