Be Well: Campfire StoriesBe Well: Campfire Stories

Facilitated by: The Strive Team Be Well: Campfire Stories invites early years professionals to gather around a real campfire for an evening of connection, reflection, and community. In a profession rooted in relationships, care, and emotional presence, this is a space created just for you. Storytelling has always been a way humans make meaning, build empathy, and strengthen community. This evening honours that tradition. Gather under the open sky and around the fire as we share stories of all kinds: Personal stories from practice Made-up tales and creative storytelling Favourite childhood stories Folklore, traditional tales, or meaningful readings Reflections that have shaped you as an educator You can share a personal story, something playful and imaginative, or simply listen and soak in the experience. There is no pressure and no agenda, just connection. The Strive Team is a collaborative group of early years professionals dedicated to supporting learning and growth to elevate effective practice. Though we each have unique roles within the team, everyone at Strive works collaboratively to deliver thoughtful, intentional professional learning and services to London, Middlesex, and Elgin county.  Pedagogical Focuses: Belonging - Expression - Well-being Standards of Practice: Standard I:  Caring and Responsive Relationships, Standard II:  Curriculum and Pedagogy, Standard III:  Safety, Health and Well-Being in the Learning Environment Registration closes: Wednesday, July 15 at 12:00 PM *Ticket types are based on the county you WORK in.  While we welcome participation from outside of the Early Years sector, please note these learning opportunities are intended for early years professionals and the early years lens will be emphasized.
