Children in Europe - Issue 18

A sense of place: environments, community and services for young children

Place and community, as much as families, can shape children’s lives, informing their sense of identity, social relationships and understanding of the world. Issue 18 considers the significance of 'place' and community and their relationship with services for young children. Find out more about farm kindergartens and place based learning in Norway, the Maori concept of wh ?nau, family and inter-generational learning in England, economic regeneration in Italy and vertical clustering
of schools and pre-schools in Portugal and what the European Commission is doing to support these developments.

The issue also includes an interview with the Scottish artist, John Bellany who explains why his childhood in Scotland’s east coast fishing communities has proved a lifelong inspiration for his work as an artist.
