Welcome to our first webinar of 2025 and start the year with Joy.

In this session, we will share the findings of The Joy Project and examine how to develop your perception and practice of joy through a series of four "Moments for Joy" - strategies and approaches you can apply in your professional role.

While this research focuses on early childhood education, educators in all settings are welcome to join us in joy!Join Dr Olivia Karolis to hear about creative approaches used to explore joy with early childhood educators, and consider how these principles can be applied across creative and educational practice of all kinds.
