Over the last three years, we have therefore been developing the grounds to share, disseminate and further develop the approach of multicultural/multilingual education in early years. We have developed tools, materials and training to equip early years practitioners, childcare professionals, preschool teachers, childminders, special needs workers, volunteers, with the skills of how to encourage the pluricultural/plurilingual education through early years education and care. Essential in this process was the close cooperation and involvement with parents, local communities as well as policymakers.
The project has also gathered some important considerations from early years teachers which were collected through our research and evaluation work.
