INSPIRE: An Uprising – Challenge, Advocate, Resist

Welcome to the forefront of change, where traditional boundaries dissolve, and innovation ignites. The biennial ‘Inspire’ conference beckons, inviting early childhood educators and teachers from across Australia and overseas to embark on a transformative journey like never before.

In 2025, we seize the reins of empowerment, rallying under the banner of ‘Inspire: An Uprising’ to challenge the norms, advocate fiercely, and elevate our voices as guardians of education. This conference isn't just an event; it's a movement—a clarion call to revolutionise the landscape of early childhood education.

At the heart of our theme lies the recognition that true progress stems from the courage to question, to dissent, and to push against the status quo. We champion advocacy, not as a mere concept, but as an imperative tool for effecting tangible change in policies, practices, and perceptions. Together, we'll explore the power of resistance, understanding that it's not merely an act of defiance but a catalyst for growth and evolution.

‘Inspire an Uprising’ isn't just about stirring the pot—it's about nurturing a culture of empowerment where every educator and teacher finds their voice and their purpose. Through dynamic keynote sessions, interactive workshops, and collaborative discussions, we'll delve into the heart of what it means to be an advocate, a disruptor, and a beacon of change in the field of early childhood education.

Join us as we shatter barriers, challenge conventions, and ignite a revolution of thought and action. Whether you're a seasoned educator or a fresh face in the sector, your presence is vital in shaping the future of our profession. Together, let's pave the way for a brighter, more inclusive tomorrow—one where every child's potential is not just realised but celebrated.

Prepare to be inspired. Prepare to rise. Prepare to ignite the uprising. We'll see you at the forefront of change.
