To Begin at the Beginning is an exciting, user-friendly activity manual, designed to help Early Years practitioners introduce young children to global education. All the activities have been tried and tested by the authors, along with participants in the project of the same name. The book explains how these activities support Early Learning Goals and suggests ideas for follow-up activities and discussion points. While not explicit, the activities also link to the new Standards in the Early Years Foundation Stage.
“DEED has produced an innovative and inspiring manual, introducing young children in Dorset to global education in an accessible and hands-on manner”
