Safe, Inclusive Participative Pedagogy (SIPP): Improving Early Childhood Education is a UKRI Global Challenges Research Fund project running from January 2020-January 2024.
This exciting research project aims to identify and develop safe, inclusive, participative pedagogy that is implementable in challenging contexts and sustainable for governments, communities and families.
The partners in the Project include the International Center for Research and Policy on Childhood at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (CIESPI at PUC-Rio), Brazil, University of Eswatini, Eswatini, Bethlehem University, Palestine, Children’s Institute, University of Cape Town, South Africa and University of Edinburgh, the United Kingdom.
Each project partner is undertaking qualitative community case studies and policy and systems analysis at community and country levels. Together, we are developing the economic case for safe inclusive pedagogy. Community engagement and participation underpin the project and there is a strong focus on knowledge exchange and collaborative learning.
The support of the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) is gratefully acknowledged.
