Principles that ground our work and that we hold:
There is a place for you here - it doesn't matter your role or position in your organization. If you feel called to lead, change and support change – join in!
- Be strategic - we will make sure the content and process is meaningful and relevant in the context of your work in early childhood
- Be open - Everyone brings something unique and valuable to a process like this. Openness will improve our collective listening and wisdom to solve daunting and challenging problems
- Co-create - each of us have things to share and things to learn. Art of Hosting is an iterative experience where we learn, experience, reflect and learn again from the collective and ourselves
- Courage - these times call for us to speak up when it might feel uncomfortable and know there is a space for us all to call out what we see, to be heard and to share
It is incredibly important to develop leaders (like YOU!) with strong and inclusive voices so we can effectively tackle the complex social issues that face us today. We sincerely hope you're able to join us in September! |
