Getting to Know International Contatcts -UNESCO


Six weeks ago to become more informed and gain understanding about issues and supports in the work beyond my border, I reached out to several organizations in Europe who offer the Step by Step Program.
 There were also some contacts made with organizations that address issues related to early childhood.  I have been receiving regular newsletters from Australia WebWatch and Harvard University Centre for the Developing Child. 

 

 
This week the United Nations Organization for Education, Science and Culture (UNESCO) website was examined. 

 
The scope of UNESCO’s resource and research is tremendous.  As noted in the title, they target a variety of issues that impact this planet.  Youth are provided tools to become engaged through innovation and collaborative practices. Information is presented in text, video and auditory formats which  address relevant issues associated with academic, health and life skills development of youth around the world.   Some information is accessible in a variety of different languages including Spanish and Chinese. This site also  supports effective practices for teachers, highlighting hands on teaching.  The range of issues and resources offered are extensive, but I was fortunate to find several resources that focus upon early education and Inclusive Practices.
