"You have motivated and inspired me to go beyond just
returning from a conference and picking up the old routines, to seeking out a means of
continuing my professional and personal growth, and particularly focus on the ideas and
statements made by the World Forum working group on violence and peace."

 A key factor in the success of the World Forum is the diversity of attendees. To assure that attendance is diverse in many ways, the World Forum Foundation has established a World Forum Fellowship Fund. This fund is used to facilitate the attendance of early childhood leaders from economically challenged communities around the world who will contribute to the World Forum experience through their expertise or the uniqueness of their perspectives. Since the World Forum was launched in 1999, over 100 individuals and organizations have stepped forward to be World Forum Sponsors.
"I cannot leave without telling you what a succcess I think the World Forum has been - not only due to the great quality of the sessions, but the feeling. I have attended many conferences in the past, but never have I known such a feeling of togetherness and unity. Great things will come for child care around the world if so many people from so many nations can work together with the belief we can change things."
Sofia Barraclough, Spain
