Join Our Open Call for Early Childhood Practitioners, Innovators, and Researchers Worldwide

• Each Case Study will provide an example or examples of successful scenarios, or a sequence of activities that have promoted development and learning for children age 0 to 6 years with different developmental levels and physical or learning needs. Using children’s words, pictures, videos, and descriptions, we are looking for practical illustrations of how strategies were implemented and how developmental progress was monitored. Selected case studies will be published and may also be presented during the conference.

Selected case studies will be published in the 1st Voices of Children Pedagogy™ Edited volume and may also be presented during the conference under the Voices of Children Pedagogy™ track.
