International Contacts- Part 2
Sadly, I have not received an email back from my contact in Ireland. Therefore, I have chosen to partake in the alternative assignment.
This week, I explored the Harvard University's "Global Children's Initiative" website.
My insights include:
1. The initiative is about building leadership capacity in child development research and policy and encourages diverse perspectives in regards to the global movement on behalf of young children
2. They focus on early childhood development, mental health and children in crisis and conflict situations
3. One project is centered around assessing quality in early childhood environments and programs in diverse global contexts
4. The vast amount of projects that are being planned or implemented in different countries such as Africa and Brazil
5. The non- English videos that are translated into languages such as: Spanish or Portugese
I am astounded and encouraged to see such activities taking place to bring awareness to the globe about the importance of Early Childhood Development and Education.
Hi Beau, was and part of the video in Portugese? And before the video were you familiar with the Portugese language at all?
