Prospettive di pedagogia culturale nei servizi per l’infanzia

Abstract

The cultural nature of our practices is a dominant issue in the current debate on early childhood education and care. The article, starting from some suggestions drawn from classic studies in anthropology, reflects on early childhood education and pedagogy from a cultural and intercultural perspective. Using some examples from studies conducted in preschools in different cultures, the article presents some ideas for encouraging the processes of dialogue and discussion among teachers and parents regarding their ideas and practices in ECEC settings.
