SUMMARY:Pen Green Annual Conference 2026
DESCRIPTION:Relational Pedagogies: Trusting the Child and Knowing Yourself \nA Fully Funded East Midlands Early Years Stronger Practice Hub Conference \nJoin us for an inspiring day exploring how relationships\, kindness\, play and self-reflection can transform educational practice and strengthen outcomes for children. \nBringing together two of the most influential voices in relational education\, Dave Whitaker and Greg Bottrill\, this conference will explore how emotionally intelligent leadership\, authentic relationships and child-centred pedagogy create the conditions for children and adults to thrive. \nDave Whitaker’s work on The Kindness Principle challenges us to place relationships at the heart of leadership\, behaviour and inclusion. Greg Bottrill’s emerging work on Inner Child-Led Pedagogy invites educators to reconnect with their own sense of wonder and curiosity\, ensuring children remain at the centre of educational experiences. Together\, their perspectives offer a compelling vision for relational practice in today’s educational landscape. \nThroughout the day\, delegates will hear keynote presentations from both speakers\, take part in opportunities for reflection and discussion\, explore inspiring learning environments\, and join a panel conversation examining what relational pedagogy looks like in practice. \nThis conference is for early years practitioners\, teachers\, school leaders\, childminders\, family support professionals and anyone passionate about creating environments where children feel safe\, connected\, valued and able to flourish.
