Modern Childhood No. 1 2025

From the contents:
In Modern Barndom 1/25, the focus is on "perspectives on democracy." Margie Cooper, chair of NAREA (North American Reggio Emilia Alliance), talks about Reggio Emilia inspiration in the shadow-casting USA. For the Nordic-Baltic network "Hear the Children," Article 12 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and raising the voices of all children are central. At the Guldkusten preschool in Östersund, the preschool is seen as a studio for life, and through the organization Globträdet, children's thoughts have reached the UN office in Kenya. There is also an interview with Maria Nikolajeva, professor emerita of children's and youth literature, about children's literary walks and extra projects, such as "Balansfantasiskor" (Balance Fantasy Shoes), where children in Bagarmossen explore physical phenomena. Signed column by Farhad Mazi Esfahani, Secretary General of Clowns Without Borders Sweden: "Let laughter drown out the darkness."
