A fascinating insight into the development and delivery of childhood services in a country where levels of child well-being are among the best in Europe.
| Northern Lights has been written to assist, and hopefully inspire, all those involved in the planning and delivering of education, early years, play, and community and health services in Scotland. It is a snapshot of child and family services in one area of Norway and places them in context of the philosophies, principles and policies that underpin service development and delivery throughout the country.
Northern Lights focuses on:
- Local planning for children, youth and family services in Norway using “oppvekstplans” - translated into English as ”upbringing plans”
- Norway’s consistently proactive work to advance children’s rights and promote participation
- The benefits of ‘universal services’
- Place-based learning - maximising local resources in education
- Outdoor learning and nature kindergartens
- Each chapter includes an overview of Scotland’s own approach to the policy area in focus
This book’s focus on engaging and empowering children, involving the wider community in education, outdoor learning and nature kindergartens make it particularly relevant for those responsible for implementing Scotland’s Early Years Framework and Curriculum for Excellence.
