Speaker Highlights at Childcare & Education Expo London 2023
The countdown is on! Childcare & Education Expo will be kicking off its first show of 2023 at Olympia London on Friday 3rd and Saturday 4th March.
The seminar programme will cover a range of subjects such as the public perception of early education; child behaviour, communication, language, movement and play.
International Speaker Sessions
The show will welcome two exciting international speakers. Behavioural specialist and founder of the ‘Phoenix Cups’ approach to guiding behaviour, Sandi Phoenix will be flying from Australia, to teach educators how to reframe their behaviour management practices.
International consultant and author of seven books focused on the environmental design of early childhood places, Dr. Sandra Duncan will be speaking on the ‘Honeycomb Hypothesis’. The hypothesis is grounded in Piaget’s theory of cognition and Wilson’s theory of biophilia (a human instinct to connect with nature) and will provide an understanding of the connection between learning, movement, play and nature.
Special Guests
Renowned early years consultant Alice Sharp will be delivering a seminar on both Friday and Saturday at the show. On Friday, visitors will learn about provocations for play and on Saturday, get ready to read as Alice will explore the importance of literacy rich environments for children.
CBeebies presenter and special guest, Ben Faulks (AKA Mr. Bloom), will be delivering two free workshops across both days, taking a fun approach to storytelling and using his 2 years of performing experience to reveal how you can turn the ordinary into the extraordinary in childcare practice.
