The aims for the conference are to discuss and reflect upon contemporary tensions in the global early childhood field:

  • How early childhood research can contribute to sustainable futures
  • Children in the world as simultaneously local and global citizens
  • Children as persons who have family- and institutional lives that are affected by society’s wider perceptions of them as minority and/or majority participants
  • Children’s institutional lives in specific places and times
  • Children and families as unique cases, events and trajectories in transitions and transformations
  • Inter-generational transfer and tensions
  • Play and relations to work and everyday life activities
  • How traditional knowledge and memories can be a resource in innovative practices, new understandings and formal knowledge
