Investing in the development of young children The Bernard van Leer Foundation is a private foundation based in the Netherlands. It operates internationally. The Foundation aims to enhance opportunities for children 0-7 years growing up in circumstances of social and economic disadvantage, with the objective of developing their potential to the greatest extent possible. The Foundation concentrates on children 0-7 years because research findings have demonstrated that interventions in the early years of childhood are most effective in yielding lasting benefits to children and society. The Foundation accomplishes its objectives through two interconnected strategies: • a grant-making programme in selected countries aimed at developing culturally and contextually appropriate approaches to early childhood care and development; and • the sharing of knowledge and know-how in the domain of early childhood development that primarily draws on the experiences generated by the projects that the Foundation supports, with the aim of informing and influencing policy and practice. The Foundation currently supports a total of approximately 150 projects in 40 selected countries worldwide, both developing and industrialised. Projects are implemented by project partner organisations that may be governmental or non-governmental. The lessons learned and the knowledge and know-how in the domain of early childhood development which are generated through these projects are shared through a publications programme.

The Bernard van Leer Foundation was established in 1949. Its income is derived from the bequest of Bernard van Leer, a Dutch industrialist and philanthropist who lived from 1883 to 1958.

Es una fundación privada con sede en Holanda, que opera en el ámbito internacional. El objetivo de la Fundación es mejorar las oportunidades de niños de 0 a 7 años que crecen en circunstancias económicas y socialmente desaventajadas, con el propósito de desarrollar al máximo su potencial innato. La Fundación ha optado por centrar su labor en la atención a niños de cero a siete años de edad porque distintas investigaciones han demostrado que, intervenciones en la etapa inicial de la niñez, son mucho más efectivas por ofrecer beneficios más duraderos, tanto para los propios niños, como para la sociedad. La Fundación lleva a cabo su objetivo mediante dos estrategias relacionadas entre sí: • un programa de apoyos a proyectos, en determinados países, dirigido a desarrollar enfoques sobre atención y desarrollo de la primera infancia, respetando el contexto y la cultura. • compartir los conocimientos y experiencias en el ámbito del desarrollo de la primera infancia, adquiridas en aquellos proyectos que la Fundación apoya, con el fin de informar, y a la vez, tratar de influir en la práctica diaria y en los procesos de decisión de políticas. En la actualidad, la fundación apoya un total de 150 proyectos, aproximadamente, distribuidos en una selección de 40 países, incluyendo tanto países industrializados como en vías de desarrollo. Los proyectos son llevados a cabo por organizaciones, ya sean gubernamentales o no gubernamentales. Por medio de un programa de publicaciones, la fundación da a conocer las lecciones aprendidas y el conocimiento sobre el desarrollo de la primera infancia, generado a través de estos proyectos. La Fundación fue creada en 1949 y sus recursos se derivan del legado del industrial y filántropo holandés, Bernard van Leer (1883-1958).

Critical thinking

Early Childhood Matters 103

Early Childhood Matters 102

Young childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participation: Rhetoric or growing reality? raises the importance of providing participative environments to children in which they can express themselves readily, knowing they will be listened to. It presents an overview of current thinking at an international level on how young children can effectively play a role in programming and in decisions that affect their lives.

The ability to think critically is widely fostered as part of the holistic development of young children. Activities that require children to engage in looking, understanding, reflecting, judging, and making choices will guide them through the many dilemmas, decisions and choices they will have to face in life.

 in changing rural realities

Following footsteps:  tracer studies

Early Childhood Matters 101

Early Childhood Matters 100

This edition contains a selection of the articles produced by participants at a meeting in Alcázar do Sal, Portugal, in December 2002. Twelve participants from Foundation-supported projects in four Latin American countries (Colombia, Mexico, Peru and Venezuela) and four European countries (Scotland, Spain, France and Portugal) identified and reflected on a broad spectrum of themes and problems around growing up in these two rural environments, analysed the new rural challenges and related them to the work of their own ECD projects. They explored the important contextual realities of the environments in which they operate; explained the conceptual frameworks that underpin the responses that they have devised and put into practice; and identified a number of significant themes for programming.

Are children different at the age of 10 if they took part in a programme at the age of 4 or 5? Does a 12-year old benefit because his mother was in a parenting programme when she was an adolescent? Do people really change because they were trained in giving care in an early child development programme? This edition is based on tracer studies that have followed the “footsteps” of children, adolescents, parents and others to find out what has happened to them five or more years after they participated in an early childhood development programme. The articles include descriptions of methods, findings from the studies, and discussions on ways in which they can be used.

Effectiveness Initiative: First fruits

e Convention on the Rights of the Child and young children

Early Childhood Matters 99

Early Childhood Matters 98

How have programmes that are aimed at the social inclusion of young children responded to realities? This edition looks for, describes and analyses ten projects across the world. Teams of investigators – specialists within international agencies as well as people from early childhood development programmes – explore how the needs of children and their families are met in different contexts. It shows the evolution of this process with examples of how distinct understandings have been generated.

This edition provides arguments, examples of work at all levels, and analyses to contribute to the discussions that are needed to elevate the Convention on the Rights of the Child to its rightful place in early childhood programming as key strategy in realising the aspirations of the Convention.

Fathers matter too

î ˘e Effectiveness Initiative: Creating an environment for learning

Early Childhood Matters 97

Early Childhood Matters 96

Fathering has emerged as a key focus for effective work with young children. This issue offers an overview of how and why fathering has obtained this prominent focus. It draws out the key issues in fathering and discusses how these are understood and acted on. It offers a survey of what is being done, strategically and via direct work, to support fathers as they move towards the parenting roles that they and their families, cultures and societies determine that they should have.

This issue contains a collection of articles about the progress of the Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Effectiveness Initiative (EI). Launched in January 1999 by the Foundation and partner organisations, the EI is a three-year investigation into what makes an effective project work. It features articles about many aspects of the first 18 months of EI work.

Parents and  programmes

Listening to children

Early Childhood Matters 95

Early Childhood Matters 94

In a discussion about parental involvement it is important to keep in mind that children depend on the love, care and security that those in parenting roles most naturally provide. This edition explores the question of where and to what extent do and should parents fit into ECD programmes. It reflects on practice around such topics as what roles do parents have and why. What helps to determine these roles? How and under what circumstances do parents complement, support – even take over – roles that are often earmarked for trained child development workers? How is their participation viewed by other stakeholders; how is it fostered; how is it constrained?

This edition focuses on participation by children of 0–7 years in the conceptualisation, implementation and evaluation of early childhood development programmes. Articles show how adults are taking the crucial steps in developing that participation: establishing environments and practices that enable young children to express themselves confidently and fully, and to develop some experiences in participation.

Real engagement by children

Culturally or contextually appropriate?

Early Childhood Matters 91

Early Childhood Matters 90

The Effectiveness Initiative is a major new project undertaken by the Foundation and a number of partner organisations to study effectiveness in early childhood development programmes. This edition reviews ideas and programmes of work that seek the views of children and that value children as contributors to, and participants in, all aspects of early childhood development.

This edition is centred on an analysis of culturally relevant approaches in early childhood development recently undertaken by the Foundation. The objective was to learn from the accumulated experiences of 11 projects. One aim was to explore how projects that work in culturally appropriate ways can pay special attention in their work with children and parents to factors such as language, cultural norms, childrearing practices and family relationships. The second aim was to highlight the ways in which projects working in different contexts handle relationships between cultures.

Culturally appropriate approaches in early childhood development

Effectiveness in early childhood development

Early Childhood Matters 89

Early Childhood Matters 88

This edition presents a variety of perspectives and insights into an area that is of interest to many people in the field of early childhood â&#x20AC;&#x201C; culturally appropriate approaches to development work with young children, their families and their communities. The contributors range from practitioners in a variety of early childhood projects to a Turkish father building a life with his family in a new country to an applied anthropologist who has advised the Israeli government on the absorption of immigrants from the Caucasus and Central Asia.

Effectiveness is of paramount importance to all who are involved in development. In early childhood development, for example, we might ask whether it is effective to work with young children at all, and we can try to identify the sorts of benefits that result and for whom. We should also ask ourselves if we are effective in supporting work with young children: do we choose the most appropriate projects to support? And, if so, what is it that makes these projects appropriate?

En este número se intenta ir más allá de reconocer la importancia de abrir espacios participativos a los niños para que puedan expresarse, con la seguridad de que sean escuchados. Para ello se presenta una visión general de distintas perspectivas de vigente actualidad a nivel internacional sobre cómo los niños pequeños pueden desempeñar un papel significativo en los programas y en decisiones que afectan a sus vidas.

La facultad de pensar de forma crítica es de hecho defendida como parte del desarrollo holístico de la primera infancia. Las actividades que requieren que los niños observen, comprendan, reflexionen, juzguen y tomen decisiones les orientará a través de los numerosos dilemas, decisiones y elecciones que tengan que afrontar en la vida.

Espacio para la Infancia 19

Con el fin de explorar y comprender a profundidad los procesos de transformación que se dan en el contexto rural y su impacto sobre la infancia, la Fundación, en alianza con ICE (Instituto das Comunidades Educativas), organizó un encuentro en Portugal para analizar qué significan estos nuevos retos para los niños más pequeños que crecen en los nuevos entornos rurales de Europa y América Latina. Esta edición pretende transmitir la riqueza del intercambio de ideas y experiencias que dieron lugar en la reunión. La distinta representativad regional, tanto europea como latinoamericana, reveló importantes diferencias contextuales y conceptuales que determinan el trabajo que cada una de las organizaciones lleva a cabo en sus comunidades.

Esta edición de Espacio para la Infancia supone la presentación en español de los “estudios de seguimiento”, un proyecto iniciado por la Fundación en 1998. Dichos estudios constituyen una técnica de investigación para conocer el impacto que la participación en un programa tuvo en la existencia de las personas.

Con el apoyo de la Fundación Bernard van Leer, en mayo 2001, se celebró el encuentro “La infancia en los contextos de violencia”. En esta edición se presentan diferentes estrategias de varias organizaciones representadas en el encuentro, sobre cómo hacen frente a las causas de la violencia en su contexto de trabajo habitual.

La evolución, una vez más, del proceso de la Iniciativa sobre Efectividad. En cada uno de los programas participantes hay historias de éxitos y fracasos, de oportunidades y de dificultades. Y cada una de estas historias esconde un tesoro de lecciones sobre la naturaleza humana y su capacidad para luchar contra la adversidad. Hay muchas experiencias sobre cómo los programas de inclusión social dirigidos a la infancia toman ventaja de las oportunidades para superar obstáculos en los ambientes donde se ejecutan.

In this Working Paper, the Kenya Community Development Foundation (KCDF) documents its experiences as a local capacity-building and grantmaking organisation and describes how it supports community-based projects in developing their organisational capacity. The Working Paper first concentrates on the value of capacity building and grantmaking as a strategy for development in general. The paper then explains KCDF’s view on the value of a holistic development approach to improving the well-being of children.

Este cuaderno presenta la evolución del progrma que la Fundación Fesco ha desarrollado a favor de la infancia y la familia en la región central de Colombia. Tomando como referencia a la familia, el proyecto Escuelas Familiares propicia procesos de interacción y diálogo en el interior de la misma y con la comunidad. De este modo se pretende construir conjuntamente alternativas de convivencia pacífica, a partir de la reflexión sobre la vida cotidiana y estableciendo compromisos entre los distintos participantes y la infancia.

This Working Paper describes the development process of a childcare centre established in 1989 in a former parking garage in Berlin, Germany. The description of how the centre became what it is now is of interest to anyone concerned with issues of diversity and multiculturalism, as well as to anyone interested in examples of how to open the doors of childcare institution to parents and the surrounding community.

Son varios y diversos los componentes a tener en cuenta a la hora de desarrollar un programa de desarrollo infantil temprano. Tanto la preparación, la planificación, la financiación, el seguimiento como la evaluación son importantes cuando se diseña e implementa un programa. En esta publicación nos centramos en el apartado de la evaluación, no porque sea el aspecto más importante, sino porque puede orientar sobre cómo se están desarrollando todos los demás. Como tal, la evaluación constituye el instrumento inicial para saber cuál es el resultado del trabajo realizado en un proyecto. Pero también contribuye a indicar cómo se pueden mejorar ciertas prácticas o procesos, actuar como herramienta de aprendizaje o para mostrar a otros el trabajo.

This paper paper shows how areas in which the El-barta project works are all tied together in an integrated programme and how the organisational structure makes this possible. The authors demonstrate how the communities, with initial support from El-barta, have established their own community daycare centres and how these centres are run by the communities on a daily basis. Most importantly, this paper gives an insight into how the organisation responds to the situations that the communities face, and how it works with the communities to tackle these situations.

This paper looks at Turkey’s first micro-credit project aimed at women. It tells the story of how the Foundation for the Support of Women’s Work (FSWW) came up with the idea of the project. It describes the reasons why the women need loans, what they do with money, and how they cope with running a household and a business at the same time. The underlying message is that, given a little initial support, women living in poverty can bring about a better quality of life for themselves, their families and their environment.

Valuing evaluation: A practical approach to designing an evaluation that works for you

Alain î ˘omas

Zhou Yajun, Liao Yi, Susan Champagne; additional research by Wang Shuquan

Valuing evaluation is based on an evaluation workshop with participants from 11 projects, which took place in Tel Aviv, Israel, in May 1997. The workshop focussed on what evaluation means, the different types of evaluation, why people evaluate, and the aims. This practical paper is particularly useful to project staff and resource centres, and is of great interest to project directors, policy makers and academics.

This paper summarises the findings of research carried out by staff of the China National Institute for Educational Research, which runs the Foundationsupported Hebei preschool education project. The research looked into the childrearing practices of a small village in the province of Hebei in northern China. The project will use the research findings to tailor its future work to local conditions.

How do you bring the sensitivities of multiculturalism accross to teachers, and therefore to young children? How can you give children a realistic view of the world in which all beliefs, skin colours, and ways of life should be respected? In 1995, the Anne Frank House produced an information pack for carers of young children, which developed themes based on the everyday experiences of children aged four to seven from different ethnic groups. This is me takes the reader through the conceptualisation of the pack, its philosophy, and its development. Designed for use both in multicultural and monocultural settings, the paper suggests ways of dealing with questions of ethnicity.

This paper tells of AFTALE’s work in developing innovative practices in working with young children, and introducing these into the traditional Koranic preschools of Morocco. It examines how the AFTALE team, which operates from the Mohammed V University in Rabat, worked with the relevant authorities and ministries to have its innovative practices adopted by the Koranic preschools.

Braam le Roux

Nanette Kieneker and Judith Maas

The Kuru Development Trust (KDT) in Botswana is a development support programme owned and controlled by the communities in which it works, the majority being San or Bushmen communities. Its activities include income generating projects, cultural activities and a training programme. It also operates a preschool project in which community members are trained as preschool teachers, and communities are supported to run their own schools. KDT looked back at the lessons it had learned over the years, and studied other programmes. This helped KDT develop a clear strategy and a vision that would guide it in its new work with the communities. The paper sets out that strategy and takes an honest look at KDTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approaches and philosophy, and how these have evolved through the years.

What do mothers think of the work of an early childhood project? Do they feel that their needs are being met? Do they find the work useful, or even necessary? And what if their cultural and religious backgrounds are completely different from those of the project and the environment in which they live? This paper records the views of the mothers with whom the Samenspel project works. It shows that mothers learn a great deal from playgroups and try to apply this knowledge in their daily lives and in the rearing of their children.

Part of the research has been a study on adults’ perceptions of their living conditions and on young children’s perceptions of goodness and beauty. Taking the results of the research, the paper signals a new way of understanding child development. The paper’s core message is the need to develop intervention programmes that are based on the concept of children as individuals within their particular culture.

Since 1979, a series of programmes based at the Spafford Community Centre have worked with the Palestinian population in the Old City of Jerusalem. This paper is a shortened version of a report of research carried out in two neighbourhoods that looked at the impact of programmes aimed at families with young children.

î ˘e rationale for experiential/participatory learning

Developmentally appropriate outdoor play environments for infants and toddlers

Working Paper 16

Working Paper 15

Kate Torkington

Jim Jolley

This paper provides a rationale for an active experiential learning approach to training. It attempts to condense the diverse literature on experiential learning and incorporate some relevant theoretical perspectives. The paper provides a body of theory about experiential leraning that will support personal experiences of this method. The paper is extracted from a pack entitled Enhancing the skills of early childhood trainers, available only from UNESCO, Paris.

Often in group care situations, where a preschool also provides care for infants and toddlers, the available outdoor space is very limited. When these infants/toddlers are taken outside, it is into an area which has not been designed as a high-use space for this age group. This paper advocates for alternative ways to provide safe, stimulating, rich and varied environments. The author shares some ideas and give some suggestions for designs used in the environments he created.

The PROMESA project aimed to influence the physical and emotional health as well as the intellectual development of the children living on the Pacific coast of Chocó in 1976. Twenty years on describes the development of PROMESA and the way in which it has influenced the children, their families and the community. It also covers an extension to the inland areas of Chocó province and is an object lesson in how programmes must change to fit local circumstances. There were improvements at all levels: in health, nutrition, sanitation, general health, infant mortality, rates of malaria, housing, employment opportunities, income levels, community cooperation and activities. But the most striking changes were in the children and in the women who implemented the programme.

When planning development programmes for children living in a poor community with few services, then all aspects of their lives need to be addressed. This report illustrates the difference a comprehensive programme can make in the lives of the children, their families and even the community as a whole. By studying two villages, one with the programme and one without, this report shows far-reaching effects in many areas. The children who took part in the programme felt emotionally secure; they were wellbehaved and mixed well with their peers of both sexes; their health was better than the children of the control group. But above all, the programme children had internalised values and a sense of self – and they had hopes and dreams for the future.

The International Fatherhood Summit 2003 brought together practitioners and academics from twenty countries to discuss practical work, policy issues, the state of current research, and areas of international concern around fathers. They discussed issues such as: What are the current economic, social, cultural and political factors and trends that affect what fathers do? What does research tell us about the effects of fathering on child development? What lessons can be learned from existing experiences in addressing fatherhood issues? Supporting fathers provides a basis for further discussion and exploration on providing the best possible environment for the development of children by explicitly placing fathers within the concept of ‘parenthood’.

The years between 1977 and 1991 saw a transition of the Jewish community of Ethiopia to Israel. On arrival in Israel, they found they had to adjust to a society and way of life that was entirely different from anything that they had experienced. This report traces the progress of participants in one of the many programmes that were set up to assist the new arrivals. Some ten years after participation, it is obvious that the Parents Cooperative Kindergarten had a profound influence on the lives of the 36 children who were traced as well as on their mothers and families.

El objeto de la presente publicación es presentar el estudio de revisión realizado en cuatro programas de desarrollo infantil temprano que trabajan con enfoque de resiliencia, llevado a cabo en 2001. Kusiska Wawa y Pukllay Wasy en Perú, Programa Yachay en Argentina y Auto-Estima das Crianças Negras en Brasil. El estudio, llevado a cabo por consultores externos, consiste en dos partes bien diferenciadas: un análisis de cómo se aplica el concepto de resiliencia desde la perspectiva de la documentación producida por los proyectos; un análisis de cómo se está aplicando la resiliencia en los programas desde la práctica.

Many early childhood programmes use home visiting as a strategy; in the Community Mothers Programme, it is the strategy. The Community Mothers are all women from the community who volunteer to visit first-time parents in their homes – once a month for one hour over a twelve-month period. This programme operates at community level that begins at or even before birth, empowers the women who implement the programme as well as the families that are visited, and helps some two thousand children a year to reach their full potential.

Can a 14-week programme for adolescents have a lasting effect on their lives? This tracer study shows that, 10 years on, 40 Trinidadians in their 20s are doing their best to meet life’s challenges. These young people, many from backgrounds of disadvantage and abuse, took part in the Adolescent Development Programme run by SERVOL. The study compares their outcomes with a similar group of people and, while the differences between the groups are small, there are some distinctions. The former trainees themselves believe that the course enhanced their parenting skills and had a positive impact on their lives.

The San people of Botswana have a way of life that is different from the rest of the country. This study of the Bokamosa Preschool Programme describes how San children cope with a national education system that is very different to the San’s own values and norms. They must also deal with pressure from their parents who mistrust a system that ‘steals’ their children yet feel powerless to make any changes. The study discusses the many factors that influence the children as they grow, and shows that if the school system is not congruent with home circumstances, children must make immense efforts to succeed.

This Tracer Study, conducted in Embu District, Kenya, compares children who were cared for by preschool teachers trained in the two-year, in-service course run by District Centres for Early Childhood Education (DICECE) with those who had untrained preschool teachers. The comparison is done on the basis of academic performance and the factors affecting academic performance, such as retention, repetition and development of psychosocial characteristics. The DICECE in Embu District was established in 1986, and the study traced cohorts of children who enrolled in the first level of primary school in 1991, 1992 and 1993. These children were tracked through primary school to the classes they were in in 1999.

This Tracer Study assesses the impact of the Teenage Mothers Project (TMP) on some of the mothers and children who were participants between 1986 and 1989. The TMP took an all-embracing approach that encompassed the development of the young women, stimulation and care for the babies, support in the home and contact with the babies’ fathers. This report shows how ‘a new door opened’ for former participants in developing their resilience following the birth of their first child and arresting a negative life trend. The study also supports the position that interventions that promote parenting education, strong mother–child bonding and early stimulation can have longterm positive development impact on the child aged 0–3 years.

The project started work in two communities in the Cynon Valley in Wales. Although the work started in both communities at the same time and under similar conditions, the two communities developed in completely different directions. The underpinning of this study is that communities must have the strings of development in their own hands to pull themselves and push others in the direction that they decide is important.

Relais Enfants-Parents, a small association in France, has been waging a quiet battle to bring the children of prisoners – the ‘forgotten children’ – to the fore of social, political and judicial policy. It works to safeguard the psychological and emotional development of children serving as a link between them and their imprisoned parents.

Development experts have searched for universal definitions and standards of quality. But quality is contextual. Using examples from several countries, this book argues that sensitivity to diversity and to one’s own preconceptions should be key elements informing all early childhood work.

The scattered communities of th Western Isles of Scotland are among the most physically isolated in Europe. They have also had to battle for generations to preserve their distinctive linguistic and cultural traditions. The Western Isles Community Education Project built on the experience, commitment and resourcefulness of local people, and established an independent voice for young children and their parents in the form of a network of playgroups that continous to flourish. This book relates how, if we persevere, we can do it ourselves.

Edith Grotberg defines resilience as a ‘universal capacity which allows a person, group or community to prevent, minimize or overcome the damaging effects of adversity’. By investigating this construct at an international level, the project enables us to gain some understanding of the combination of factors that result in resilience in children. In this guide, Edith Grotberg has managed to turn a set of concepts into practical tools that can be incorporated into the everyday work of development projects. Thus, it also serves as an example of how theory and research can be turned into practice.

This is the story of dozens of small rural communities in Zimbabwe which are working together to give their children a chance to have a brighter future. This is also the story of the Kushanda Project and the process of development which it has helped to promote. Since 1985 the Kushanda Project has worked to provide training for ECEC teachers and to establish sustainable preschools in these locales.

Introducing tracer studies: Guidelines for implementing tracer studies in early childhood programmes

Introducción a los estudios de seguimiento: Guía para implementar estudios de seguimiento en programas de desarrollo infantil temprano

Ruth N. Cohen

Introducing Tracer Studies is based on the experiences of studies that have followed the ‘footsteps’ of former participants of early childhood programmes. Participants in these programmes included children, adolescents, parents, teachers, community members, and others, and many were followed up between three and 20 years after they had completed a programme. The emphasis in this publication is on the approaches and methods that were used to study programmes, that operate in very diverse settings, have varied programme approaches, target different populations, and have their own unique aims and objectives.

Este documento se basa en experiencias de estudios que siguieron las huellas de anteriores participantes de programas de primera infancia (adolescentes, padres, maestros, miembros de la comunidad y otros), entre 3 y 20 años después de su paso por el programa. El énfasis de esta publicación radica en los distintos enfoques y métodos utilizados en los estudios de los programas que operan en muy diversos contextos, tienen diferentes grupos de beneficiarios y unos fines y objetivos únicos.

e view of the Yeti: Bringing up children in the spirit of self-awareness and kindredship

¿Me escuchas?: Cómo conversar con niños de cuatro a doce años

Michel Vandenbroeck

Martine F. Delfos

Using the mythical creature of the Himalayas, the Yeti, as a symbol for the prejudices and assumptions that people prematurely make about each other, this book discusses bringing up children to accept and cherish diversity and helping them to thrive in an increasingly diverse world. Directed to educators and caregivers of toddlers and preschoolers, the book takes insights from Dutch-, French-, and English-language literature and provides practical examples based on European issues and context.

Apenas existe literatura sobre el arte de conversar con niños, y sin embargo, es una actividad diaria para la mayoría de las personas, y la principal de los profesionales. Por desgracia, y debido a la escasez de tiempo, se dedica poca o ninguna atención al tema durante los cursos de formación. Este libro, aparte de orientar sobre cómo manejarse en las conversaciones con niños, describe y analiza la conversación en general, y se ocupa especialmente de las charlas asistenciales y en el colegio. En ¿Me escuchas?, Martine F. Delfos describe cómo se pueden preparar y entablar conversaciones con niños de cuatro a doce años.

What can be done to improve the situation of young children in Africa? This publication looks at the context in which Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children are growing up. It explains why the early years are important for an individual child, for the family and community, and for society as a whole. It discusses the kinds of outcomes that early childhood development programmes should be seeking. The key message is that there are many possible approaches, but the basis must be building on what exists rather than imposing alien solutions.

Early childhood matters

Is there life before primary school?

This video introduces the Bernard van Leer Foundation and its mission to enhance opportunities for children aged 0 to 7 who live in situations of social and economic disadvantage. Two projects are discussed that illustrate the approach of the Foundation.

This 16-minute video is a useful introduction to many of the issues faced in improving children’s education and development. Based partly on a video prepared for a presentation at the World Conference on Education for All held in Thailand in March 1990, it includes scenes from several Foundation-supported projects in different countries. Topics covered include the importance of the early years for a child’s development, the key role of parents as children’s prime educators, and the valuable contribution which communities can make to early childhood care and education. The video, made by Leo Akkermans for the Foundation, is in colour and is available with an English or Spanish commentary.
