Dear all,
World Organization for Early Childhood Education (OMEP) is getting people interested in a conference where they will share innovative practices (http://www.worldomep.org/en/early-childhood-education-innovators-share-your-practices-open-call-for-applications/. This is a topic that is relevant for me because i am new in this field and it is always good to learn from professionals ways they used and from which they got satisfying results with children.
In a new OMEP project they want to support early childhood practitioners, trainers, researchers and advisers in their practical efforts to empower young children to escape some of these disadvantages that they face due to an accident of birth into poverty, abuse or discrimination. They are putting together a web site (http://www.ecesustainability.org) to provide resources and links to support the development of these practical projects, and it will also provide a means of sharing good practice in these areas.
Teacher training resources for Education for Sustainable Development is a positive initiative that aims to teach to members: October 15, 2014: National Committee Presidents, or their designees, submit a letter of interest to me atIngrid.Pramling@ped.gu.se. February 1, 2015: Submissions due at Ingrid.Pramling@ped.gu.se.
Never heard of OMEP Project. I view the website and hope and pray that they are growing successfully in their efforts to give children an exit to avoid or continue to live in abuse, discrimination and poverty. Thanks for the knowledge.
ReplyDeleteDear Shining Star,
DeleteYes i am glad Dionna gave more information about OMEP. I came to know this organisation when we were having one of the preceding courses of this program and i found it very interesting.
You can visit the website you will learn more from them.
Thank you and all the best.
Marlene,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the information. I like Shining Star have never heard of the OMEP Project. I researched the website and read about the history of OMEP and how it came about and what it stands for. I saw these three points on what OMEP is and what it supports, and thought I should share from the website you provided.
OMEP is an international, non-governmental and non-profit organization concerned with all aspects of early childhood education and care (ECEC).
OMEP defends and promotes the rights of the child to education and care worldwide and supports activities which improve accessibility to high quality education and care.
OMEP is currently established in over 70 countries and is represented at meetings of UNESCO, UNICEF, and other international organizations with similar aims.
It is also good that they are putting together a website to provide resources and links to help with the projects and keep people informed as to how to help with poverty, abuse or discrimination.

Dear Dionna
DeleteThanks a lot for sharing more information about OMEP. I found the organization very interesting by the information and training they provide.
Thank you and all the best.
Marlene,
ReplyDeleteWhen I first started my journey in ECE I found it important to attend conferences too. I found that it gave insight into different topics that I wasn't learning about in my undergrad studies. I still attend conferences or workshops to help my professional development within the ECE field. Thanks for your post.
Thank you Jillian.
DeleteYes i am sure attending workshops and conferences is very important.
All the best.
Marlene,
ReplyDeleteThanks for this website I was not knowledgeable of OMEP. The training they give sounds very interesting.
Dear Tamiko,
DeleteYes it sounds good.
I wish you all the best.
