The Froebel Trust, a longtime institutional supporter and collaborator of the International Froebel Society, has published on its website a wonderful summary of the International Froebel Society’s 10th Biennial Conference. The summary, written by Sacha Powell, the Trust’s CEO, begins:
‘Participants travelled from around the globe to Ireland for the 10th Biennial conference of The International Froebel Society (IFS) held 15 – 17 June 2023.
Maynooth University’s Froebel Department of Primary and Early Childhood Education hosted an outstanding programme of academic and social events.
Student ambassadors and faculty members led by Head of Department, Niamh Fortune ensured everyone received a warm welcome and gifts, including wooden blocks and wild flower seeds.
The conference theme, “Childhood Today: A Froebelian Perspective” offered 50 presentations across three days with keynote speeches from distinguished educators and scholars.’
