Messaging matters.
How do the stories we tell about early childhood education shape public understanding and build momentum for change?

Join us November 5 for CAYL Catalyst as we welcome Cecilie Surasky of UC Berkeley’s Othering & Belonging Institute to explore the power of messaging, movement building, and belonging.

What stories are we telling about early childhood education?
Do the messages we use to talk about the field build public will for change—or unintentionally hold us back?
And what can the work of the Othering & Belonging Institute teach us about building a broader movement for children, families, and educators?

Join us on November 5 for CAYL Catalyst as we welcome Cecilie Surasky, a communications strategist, movement builder, and leader at the Othering & Belonging Institute at UC Berkeley.

Cecilie brings a powerful lens to the question of how movements create change—not only through policy and research, but through the stories we tell, the communities we build, and the sense of belonging we create. Together, we'll explore how the early childhood field talks about its work today, what those messages make possible, and what might need to change if we want to build greater public will and momentum for systemic change.
