Celebrating Ten Years
June 23, 2009
It is more important to pave the way for a child to want to know than to put him on a diet of facts that he is not ready to assimilate.
-Rachel Carson
At the recently concluded 2009 World Forum, delegates joined in celebrating the Tenth Anniversary of the World Forum Foundation. Once again it was a smashing success, and here are some numbers to prove it...
  • Delegates traveled a combined 5,750,000 miles going to and returning from the event;
  • Delegates had a combined total of 8,900 years of experience in early childhood education.
  • Delegates spent a combined total of 29,900 hours lecturing, listening, learning, sharing, discussing, dancing, crying, laughing, and developing deep friendships.
If you missed the 2009 World Forum, you have many opportunities ahead to join in the connecting. You can purchase the 2009 World Forum Compendium — a CD with presentations, professional resources, World Forum project updates, and the delegate directory. And, on www.WorldForumFoundation.org you will be able to view...
  • The 2009 World Forum Photo Gallery in mid-July;
  • The official 2009 World Forum video in mid-September
  • Announcements of future World Forum events that were hatched at the 2009 World Forum.

Two World Forum Publications

At the past two World Forums, publications of World Forum Working Groups were launched. At the 2007 World Forum in Kuala Lumpur, the International Working Group on Peace Building with Young Children launched its publication, From Conflict to Peace Building — The Power of Early Childhood Initiatives: Lessons from Around the World.

And at the 2009 World Forum in Belfast, the Working Group on Teacher Education launched Conversations on Early Childhood Teacher Education. Both of these books can be purchased on the Exchange web site.
