This morning at 8am I supported Dr Jessamy Davies to host the Yarning Circle focussed on Children's rights and Sustainable Development Goals. Some of the comments that the participants wrote in the chat:

  • “This conference has been fantastic for hearing lots of different perspectives from people from different professional backgrounds and disciplines. I've been learning a lot, thank you!”
  • “It's definitely a prompt to re-read [the Convention on the Rights of the Child] as it's been quite a while since I have read them, and I don't think we listen enough to children, families and educators!”
  • “Thank you very much for organising the conference. It was a great experience. It it valuable to have access to the resources after the last day of the conference.”

At the end of the day, Dr Carolyn Gregoric and I met to celebrate how wonderful ECV2022 was this week - and how nothing seemed to go wrong :)
