From the World Forum Foundation Video by Tori Hogan, I have
learned that the World Forum gather together and collaborate on early childhood
issues. This has been taking place for over a decade and each year it gains
more people and attention to address the issues of the early childhood field
across the globe. Hogan states that in doing a workshop, it empowers people to
take action. Anyone involved or interested in early childhood may attend and
walk away with so much more knowledge and resources to help continue the plight
for quality for our children. It is a shame I cannot be a part of this project,
it sounds amazing!
Three new ideas/insights found from the Harvard web site include
a project in Brazil where they are going to try to use science to help create
stronger policies to generate larger investments into their child development
programs. Another project I have found from the site is one from Africa that
includes the launch of the Zambian Early Childhood Development Project in 2009.
This program was created to measure the effects of the anti-malaria on child
development. The last new idea I have found from the site includes the world’s
policymakers have increased their attention to early childhood health and
development stating that “the foundations for successful adulthood are
established early in life” I thought this appropriate considering we have been
discussing this same this in class.
Is it because where it is located that you can not participate?
