In May 2008, 150 early childhood professionals from 12 nations gathered in Honolulu Hawaii at the first ever Working Forum on Men in Early Childhood Education. Throughout the event delegates shared ideas through plenary presentations, workshops, discussion groups, story telling and informal conversations.
 Issues explored during the Working Forum included...
- the value of gender balance in early childhood education
- barriers to men's full participation
- research on men in early childhood education
- myths and stereotypes on men in early childhood education
- strategies for increasing male involvement on a global basis
In coming weeks, we will be putting up presentations, photos, stories and action plans arising from this event. If you were unable to attend this event, but have a story, please share it with us.Members of the Leadership Team on Men in Early Care and Education will next meet at the 2009 World Forum on Early Care and Education. At this Forum, there will be sessions exploring some of the issues raised in Honolulu. The date and place for this event will be announced in an upcoming issue of ExchangeEveryDay.
