Trying Together’s UnConference is an innovative, hands-on professional development training format where a deeper experience is provided around a particular theme related to early childhood education. Speakers are invited to present and participants are encouraged to engage hands-on in the workshops.
Trying Together will host its October UnConference at the Hosanna House, located at 807 Wallace Avenue, on Monday, October 12.
Ordinary Moments, Meaningful Connections
The foundation of quality in early learning settings begins with the everyday interactions that we share with one another. These simple and ordinary moments that take place during daily routines form the foundation of learning and connection for young children and adults alike.
Focusing on the belief that meaningful learning happens within everyday moments, this UnConference highlights how connection, reciprocity, inclusion, and opportunities for growth emerge through adult-child interactions. Participants will experience interactive presentations that offer practical strategies for fostering inclusive environments, strengthening relationships, and creating opportunities for mutual growth.
The UnConference is designed to support educators in cultivating classrooms where every child and adult feel seen, heard, and valued.
Proposal topics can address - but are not limited to - the following topics:
Connection and attunement
Reciprocity in practice
Inclusion and belonging
Opportunities for growth
Trying Together will offer an honorarium of $250 to any organization or individual not affiliated with an organization whose proposal is chosen to be presented. Additionally, those who are engaging the audience through interactive workshops and learning experiences are invited to participate in the rest of the day at no cost.
Those interested in leading a workshop at the UnConference should submit a proposal by June 29.
