This year’s theme, Inspired by Love, celebrates the human bonds that forge our sense of shared community, the power of compassion and of sharing our own vulnerabilities. When we work together to advance real inclusion, everything we do is inspired by love.

Join us for four days including a pre-conference day on inclusive education, disability pride celebration, presentations, conversations and social events that will inspire new ideas and action to build a deeper understanding of inclusion built on a foundation of love, respect and human  connections.

Gentle Teaching International Conference – Vancouver BC – Sept 19-21, 2017

Gentle teaching is the expression of what McGee describes as the Psychology of  Interdependence. According to this psychology, every human being needs to live connected with others in an equal and mutual relationship, and embedded in a loving and caring community. This community invites the individual to develop his qualities for the benefit of himself/herself and the community.
