EENET’s inclusive ECE video project – progress update 3

We will be filming in two countries. The first confirmed country is Ukraine. We filmed there for our previous training video package (‘An Inclusive Day‘), and last year we worked with Ukrainian young people to carry out action research with kindergarten children. We are therefore delighted that we will be returning to Ukraine to document more experiences and ideas relating to inclusive early childhood education. Our film producer, Duncan, has recently carried out a scoping visit to plan which locations in Ukraine he and the film crew will visit later this year. A scoping visit to the second country will happen in a couple of weeks, so watch this space for more news.
