WHAT’S UP IN EDUCATION

We project had two specific objectives:

1. To identify organizational solutions that improve ECEC services and contribute to increase access
2. To improve Families and community participation in the life of pre-schools services

The project facilitated knowledge exchanges among teachers, managers, coordinators and the larger community, in order to enhance intellectual, cultural, and social influence to improve young children’s developmental outcomes.

A European comparison enriched our understanding of the role that higher level institutional governance play in promoting healthy child development: each country can differ substantially in their institutional histories in the ways in which they provide support to families and children.

For these reasons the “school to school” exchange was an opportunity to share different pedagogic and governance models, deepening the knowledge about each other’s practices and learning from them, and identify practices to be transferred or tested in the home context according to each partner characteristics.
