The EDUFIRST project did the first learning activity in Milano in May 2024. We all had the opportunity to deeply understand and learn from the powerful model of 0-3 and 3-6 ECEC services in the city and the long tradition on early childhood care and education.

The second learning activity of the EDUFIRST project was hold by IMEB Barcelona city council. For three days, we meet and learn from a powerful innovative model that is exploring new dimensions of ECEC services such as the community engagement or the climate justice approach.

The third and last learning visit was to the City of Tampere. During 3 days, we learn a lot about the Finnish ECEC services model, practices, institutions, debates… The universality of ECEC services based on the subjective right of each 0-7 years-old children to have good care and education is something that contrast with the southern countries reality. Here you are a nice video-abstract of the learning visit. https://dreambroker.com/channel/eue1fd7z/anhgmyvp
