Connolly,
P. and Hayden, J. with Levin, D. (2007) From Conflict
to Prace Building: The Power of Early Childhood Initiatives
- Lessons from Around the World. Redmond, WA: World Forum
Foundation.
This book contains stories of hope and encouragement
and of just what early childhood practitioners can do and
achieve in the face of adversity. From Conflict to Peace
Building shows us that it is possible to make a real
difference to the lives of children and families in societies
affected by conflict. Moreover, the stories illustrate the
power of the early years sector not only as a foundation stone
upon which to re-build communities but also as a vehicle for
peace building because of its ability to reach across political
divides and to encourage the differing sides in conflict to
develop alternative visions of the future based around the
needs of children.
This is the first publication of the International
Working Group on Peace Building with Young Children. Further
