EECERA came into being when Tony Bertram and Chris Pascal, UK early years researchers, started looking for research on the issues facing young children and families, and is organised in conjunction with the Centre for Research in Early Childhood (CREC), a charity based in Birmingham. The theme for this conference was ‘Developing Sustainable Early Childhood Education Systems: comparisons, contexts and the cognoscenti’! Right up my street once I’d looked up what cognoscenti meant (‘people who are especially well informed about a particular subject’)
The first EECERA conference I attended was in Glasgow, in 2022, when I just went to observe, fortunately being able to stay with my brother nearby. The 2023 conference was in Portugal, where I put up a poster about my early research, and was part funded to attend by the University of Portsmouth as part of my doctoral research.
