World and Regional Conferences

One of the main aims of OMEP is achieving the right to quality education for all children during Early Childhood. Since its creation, OMEP has organized Regional and World Conferences with this purpose, in order to share research, giving space for new debates and knowledge about ECCE, supporting teachers and other early childhood specialists to be updated and trained.
