About the PDI
The Professional Development Institute will bring together for five days local, regional and international exchange of research ideas and experiences that shape Early Childhood Development today. Each day will offer plenary sessions, and workshops with practical demonstrations. Participants will be offered over 30 unique workshops that span the areas of ECD Global Perspectives, Parenting, Early Learning and Care, Inclusion, STREAM, Irie Classroom Toolbox and Irie Homes, Arts, Leadership/Advocacy, Training Modules for Board Chairmen and Climate Change. The workshops and sessions offered will be relevant and engaging and will facilitate several hundreds per session. The Professional Development Institute is another highly anticipated 5-day event that will be officially opened on the first day.
