About this Event
Dear Early Years Colleagues,
We are delighted to invite you to become part of the Leadership in Early Years Education Network (LEYEN), a growing partnership that brings together early years professionals with an interest in leadership, collaboration and the future of early years education.
We are pleased to announce our LEYEN Launch Event which will take place on Monday 23rd November 2026, from 4.30pm to 6.30pm.
This is a hybrid event so you can attend either in person at Duke's Building (Room DB1005), Severn Campus, Hylton Road, University of Worcester or online via MS Teams (select either 'In person' or 'Online' when you reserve your free place). The event will provide an opportunity to connect with colleagues, explore key issues in early years leadership, and contribute to the development of this new professional network.
Special Guest Speaker: Dr Viki Veale, St. Mary's University, Twickenham.
Further details will be shared shortly.
Please also share this event with colleagues and professional networks who may be interested in becoming part of this growing community. We welcome your ideas and suggestions as the network develops, so please do get in touch if there are topics, themes, or activities you would like to see included. We hope you will join us in November and help us build a vibrant, supportive network for everyone with an interest in leadership in early years education.
We look forward to connecting with you soon.
Best wishes,
Lorna, Maddy and Simon
