Democratic Education Training – PBW

Training on Democratic Education: Awareness of Bias and Sensitivity to Discrimination in Day Nurseries, Childcare Centers and Family Day Care
In this one-day training course, you will explore democratic education for children aged 0 to 6. You will take a closer look at prejudice, stereotyping and power dynamics in your everyday educational work. You will also learn how these factors influence whether and how children can participate in decision-making.
This will help you further develop a bias-aware and discrimination-sensitive approach. This approach is the foundation for enabling children aged 0 to 6 to experience democratic education.
You can take part in this training if you work with children aged 0 to 6 as an early childhood educator in a childcare center, nursery or family day care setting.
