Programme themes

The over-arching theme of the Working for inclusion programme was to look at how the early years workforce can address poverty and promote social inclusion.

This over-arching theme was examined in relation to four key areas. Each partner country took the lead on one of these four thematic areas:

  • Working with the child as an active agent in their own learning (Italy)
  • Working with diversity, in particular ethnicity, language, disability and gender (Scotland)
  • Inclusive workforce models for rural and remote areas (Norway)
  • Working in an inclusive way with children and families, across agencies and age groups (Poland)
