About this Event
The Dialogue & Dessert discussions are meant to energize public spaces as places of learning about our work with children.
Social spaces of gathering will be the venue for discussion, collaboration and open conversations about issues that face children, families and early years educators, but may sometimes be “swept under the carpet”.
These events are free of charge and open to educators, parents, teachers, politicians, consultants and the public.
Since the on-going conversation is essential for these roundtables, we ask for participants to commit to attending all our upcoming roundtables.

Topic: Pedagogical Concerns
As educators, we are called to co-create with children meaningful learning experiences and pay attention and respond to what we are affected by. In this paying attention, pedagogical concerns emerge. Through a dialogue with an inquiry, we are invited to think with what concerns us pedagogically, and ways in which pedagogical concerns can be brought to life through project work. “Living with time” is a long-term inquiry project that was carried out to work through and make sense of time in an early learning context. By disrupting linear and measured time, the children and educators involved in this inquiry seek to form new understandings of time in the space we live together.
Leigh Kweon works as a Pedagogy and Approach Support at Frog Hollow Neighbourhood House. Her role is to work closely with the childcare programs to better support educators in understanding and bringing to life the philosophy and principles that ground Frog Hollow. Her life is situated on the traditional, ancestral and unceded lands of the Katzie, Semiahmoo, Kwantlen, and Tsawwassen nations as an uninvited settler. With an educational and professional background in early childhood education, her passion is for teaching and learning with children, adults, and the world we live in. Leigh is currently pursuing further studies in Curriculum Studies at UBC, in which she is committed to working towards less violent futures on colonized lands.
Our hope is for participants to engage in meaningful conversations and we encourage everyone to contribute to the dialogue as questions, provocations or comments come to mind.
