2021 and Beyond

One of the most enjoyable things about working with young children is that every day is different. It is important that we slow down and really meet a child’s needs if they are going to enjoy their childhood. Having emotional wellbeing allows a child to be ready and able to learn. This session discusses how we can plan an emotional enabling environment to support every child to access the awe and wonder of the world around them.

In this project-based learn-by-doing experience, we will interact as a photography community, seeking happiness and fun while opening our hearts, thinking like advocacy photographers, and taking meaningful photographs to connect with the Principles of Harmony in Nature. We will then apply the learning to the contexts of our own lives, the lives of our students, our classroom and the civic readiness of our school communities.
