Listen in as experienced advocates, and World Forum Board members, Kim Nall from the United States and Rokhaya Diawara from France, share strategies and spark a conversation on advocating for early childhood education.
“I learned to be an advocate out of necessity,” says Kim. “So I can tell you a lot of things I learned not to do, and I can tell you a lot of things that are important to do.” Speaking on the importance of doing your research as an advocate, she adds,: “Be open, open your heart and your mind to, maybe, an answer you weren’t prepared for and maybe don’t even want to hear.”
Rokhaya emphasizes grounding advocacy in authenticity and integrity: “You don’t need to have all your degrees or all your studies or knowledge in this field. It’s coming first from your heart… it’s coming also from the situation you are facing… from your perspective and what you want to achieve and what you want to be accountable for.”
