HangingOUT!” project and it's playplace
Europe is facing challenges such as complex cultural diversity in classrooms, early school leaving and those from disadvantaged backgrounds. Quality early childhood education and care (ECEC, 1 to 6 years old) can be a bridge to tackle these challenges. The “HangingOUT!” project considers outdoor education as a way to enhance the quality of early childhood education and care as well as promote active citizenship. We start from the assumption that ‘every’ outdoor context can be a rich environment that fosters learning and development in an holistic way. The outdoor space is accessible to all and is in that sense very democratic.
