The speakers will discuss children’s rights in the early years from different perspectives. They will share research findings, practical case studies, and reflections on promoting children’s rights through participatory pedagogical approaches.

This is the sixth workshop of the “Knowledge-exchange workshop series for Chinese practitioners to empower young children for sustainability in Early Childhood Education”, which aims to support Chinese ECE practitioners to better listen to children's voices, encourage children's participation and empower children's agency in everyday practice, which would support SDGs and promote sustainability education in early years.

This workshop series is funded by the UCL Global Engagement Funds and hosted by the Centre for Teacher and Early Years Education at IOE, and Faculty of Education, Beijing Normal University.
