Center for Social Change:
Honor Those Who Have Led Us, Continue the Work

Are you attending the CAEYC Conference in Pasadena in April? If so, stop by the Center for Social Change. It promises to be an exciting and inspiring place to visit at the CAEYC Conference. The purpose of the Center is to provide a space to engage in safe conversations about the hard issues in our field with resources and an invitation to action. The Center will be open on Saturday, April 5 from 12pm-4pm.

 

Topics will include: Anti-Bias Education, Peace Camps, Non-Violence in the Lives of Children Project (NVP), and Ecology. The Center will inspire all by raising our voices in song led by Jacki Breger and Betsy Rose because we all know the power of Music! Leaders such as Chris Lamm, Nelson Mandela and Pete Seeger will be honored as we express our gratitude to them for social change and carry on their ideas. Look in your CAEYC Conference schedule to find the Center for Social Change and be sure to include it at the top of your list of places to explore at the conference!
