Online Workshop:

Vivid Life and Learning: Rendering Through Lived Stories

In this webinar Dr Lynn McNair will explore

‘lived stories’ as a means of pedagogical documentation and their relevance to the lived experiences of young children and everyday practice of adults who interact with young children in a myriad of enviroments, enabling practitioners to observe, support and extend learning, in ways which are underpinned by a respect for all participants, equity and social justice.
