Join us in Toronto on February 1st and 8th for a two-part advocacy training & networking event that will bring out your unique advocacy style, and help you make connections with likeminded early years professionals.
In these sessions, you will be invited to look at your own ECE journey and share your ECE stories. We will discuss what connects us to one another and dig deep into what helps us stay passionate and how that can fuel our fight for change in the Ontario early years sector. Join us to uncover how advocacy and community care can be antidotes to burnout by prioritizing our collective hopeful vision for early childhood education in Ontario, and explore the concrete actions we can take to turn our hopes into reality. We'll wrap up each session with some craft & chat time to decompress and engage in creativity and play.
AECEO trainings are especially designed to create space for ECEs to share joy and connect, because we believe that authentic, caring relationships are crucial to sustaining community advocacy. Participants who attend both sessions will receive a certificate of completion for your professional portfolios and will be connected to ongoing opportunities for collaboration and events with the AECEO. This 2-day training is free to attend, but spots are limited. Register now to guarantee yours!
