WECAN 2022 Early Childhood Educators Conference- February 11-13, 2022
TOWARD A KINDER, MORE COMPASSIONATE SOCIETY:
Working Together toward Change
Keynote speakers Meggan Gill, Keelah Helwig and Joaquin Muñoz

Nearly 800 Waldorf early childhood educators from throughout North America and around the world participated in our February online conference. This conference was a significant step in our working together toward change, toward the kinder, more compassionate society we all know is possible.
