Here is the email that I just sent to the members of the Early Childhood Interdisciplinary Research Sturt Scheme this evening

Thank you for all you have done to ensure that the Early Childhood Voices 2024 conference was a success this week

Make sure you look at the Children’s Press Gallery video summarizing their reporting of the launch (found underneath the Acknowledgment of Country video - https://earlychildhoodresearch.csu.domains/early-childhood-voices-conference-2024/)
A HUGE thank you to Dr Carolyn Gregoric, our conference secretary and Dr Belinda Downey, our conference co-chair, and to all of you for your roles (large and small) to ensure ECV2024 was a success. As our keynote speaker said – it takes a village to raise a village.
Early Childhood Interdisciplinary Research Sturt Scheme
We have come to the end of the Early Childhood Interdisciplinary Research Sturt Scheme (ECIR). We have achieved so much together. Our final report is attached. Please feel proud of all you have achieved together.
Exciting news: Children’s Voices Centre (CVC)
Yesterday, Vice Chancellor Professor Renée Leon approved the establishment of the Children’s Voices Centre for three years (2025-2027). HOORAY!!! We have just (soft) launched the Children’s Voices Centre website so you can find out more https://www.csu.edu.au/research/childrens-voices-centre. We will provide more details in February 2025.
We are excited about what the future holds for our team and look forward to future collaborations to make a difference in children’s lives across the world. Thank you and best wishes for the holiday season.
