KIX LAC Webinar: Early childhood education as a driver of holistic development

SUMMA and OECS, through its KIX LAC Hub and with the support of GPE KIX, invite you to the launch of the Knowledge Mobilization Cycle on the Use of Evidence in Early Childhood Education and Care. Representatives from LAC countries and organizations such as OECD, SUMMA, OECS, UWI and UNICEF will be present.
The challenges on this topic have been and continue to be addressed by various organizations in Latin America and the Caribbean, creating a valuable ecosystem of shared learning. With this new cycle, we seek to join these regional conversations, strengthening connections and promoting the exchange of knowledge. Our purpose is to contribute to collective empowerment, exploring innovative approaches to advance towards quality, inclusive and equitable early childhood education.
On Thursday 30 and Friday 31 we will hold a webinar dedicated to the theme, Context and Relevance of Early Childhood Education, where we will explore key issues such as the benefits of early childhood development, challenges in coverage and equity, educational policies, and successful cases of intersectoral collaboration.
We look forward to seeing you there!
