THEME
Children’s well-being founded on reciprocal relationship
The child's well-being is based on reciprocal relationships among children, teachers, parents, ECEC centers and schools, and community members. There are multiple aspects of reciprocal relationships. Children from diverse backgrounds and different age groups can have reciprocal relationships between them. Reciprocal relationships between ECEC teachers and primary school teachers will create new possibilities in their collaboration. Children are citizens of our community, and able to have reciprocal relationships with community members around the ECEC center.
The PECERA conference will provide space for local, national, and international conversations on children's well-being.
