Conference "Guaranteeing Children's Rights in Crèches"

A scientific conference on the 19th of October at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam in cooperation with the Institute for Further Education, Research and Development (IFFE e.V.) and the German League for the Child

Today, more and more young children are spending a lot of time in crèches and daycare centres: The proportion of two-year-olds has doubled in the last 15 years and the proportion of one-year-olds has even tripled. Children do not have to fulfil any linguistic, cognitive or other requirements for their rights to support, participation and protection to be guaranteed in child daycare. It is the responsibility of educators to respect children's rights, adapt to their developmental needs and ensure their well-being.

At the conference, findings from empirical research on the organisation of everyday situations in day nurseries will be compiled. In the light of children's rights, pedagogical action will be analysed and discussed in the context of findings on attachment and relationships: What is imperative to make everyday situations child-centred? In which situations and under which conditions does the child's welfare suffer? How can they be avoided in childcare centres and how can childcare centres be supported in this?

We cordially invite you to discuss these important questions.

The participating scientists include: Prof. Dr. Lieselotte Ahnert, Prof. Dr. Fabienne Becker-Stoll, Prof. Dr. Astrid Boll, Prof. Dr. Dorothee Gutknecht, Prof. Dr. Frauke Hildebrandt, Prof. Dr. Karsten Krauskopf, Prof. Dr. Jörg Maywald, Prof. Dr. Iris Nentwig-Gesemann, Bianka Pergande, Prof. Dr. Regina Remsperger-Kehm, Prof. Dr. Susanne Viernickel, Prof. Dr. Catherine Walter-Laager, Prof. Dr. Dörte Weltzien
