Foundational Learning: Family-Centred, Culturally Grounded Digital Approaches (EN)

Friday, June 5, 2026 10:00 – 11:00

Room: Tamale

Early learning is strengthened when families, cultural context and children’s lived realities are placed at the centre. This session examines how play, storytelling and home-based engagement can support foundational literacy and numeracy, alongside culturally relevant digital tools. Contributions focus on practical, low-cost approaches that enable meaningful early learning through closer collaboration between families, educators and communities.
