Play, Power & Voice Supporting Democratic Social Worlds In Early Learning

Play, Power & Voice: Supporting Democratic Social Worlds in Early Learning

2.5-Hour Professional Learning Workshop

This workshop explores how children build their social worlds through play—negotiating relationships, expressing identity, and navigating power. Grounded in the British Columbia Early Learning Framework, educators will reflect on how to support children’s agency, fairness, and emotional safety in complex social interactions.

Through real scenarios and practical strategies, educators will strengthen their ability to guide social play with intention while honoring children’s voices and participation.
