Join Australia’s early years leaders at the National Early Years Policy Summit at QPAC’s Out of the Box and be part of the next wave of change.
Summit Program
To meet and discuss the most important thing in the world – the future of our kids.
A gathering of Australian and international leaders, thinkers, practitioners, artists, parents, caregivers, Elders and community leaders to discuss childhood in Australia and make big plans for the future of our kids. Some of the questions explored through conversations on the stage and then on the ground together may include:
- Where are we going with our childcare system?
- How do we de-pressurise childhood?
- What are the big shifts we must make for our First Nations kids?
- How do we get our kids active, outdoors and in touch with the physical world?
- How do we harness the power of the arts to transform and enrich childhood?
- Should we reorganise Government responsibilities for early education and child health?
- Who’s got the world’s best child development system … and how can we get there too?
These are some of the questions big and small we’ll debate at the Summit – all amongst the creative energy of Out of the Box – one of Australia’s best loved children’s festival.
