Celebrating Learning Stories Conference 2022
From New Zealand with contributions from the USA & China.
“As global citizens in a rapidly changing and increasingly connected world, children need to be adaptive, creative and resilient. They need to learn ‘how to learn’ so that they can engage with new contexts, opportunities and challenges with optimism and resourcefulness. For these reasons, Te Whāriki emphasises the development of knowledge, skills, attitudes and dispositions that support lifelong learning.” Te Whāriki English version (2017 p.7)
This event took place on 5 March 2022 and all the recordings are available to view until 4 April 2022.
