The Foundational training on psychological first aid (PFA) and trauma-Informed practices for young children and their caregivers fills a critical knowledge and skills gap in the early childhood workforce capacity, which surfaced due to the current humanitarian crisis created by the war in Ukraine. Many questions need to be answered to ensure that the needs of young refugee children and their caregivers are met, and that early childhood practitioners are protected while providing this much-needed support.

The main questions addressed in the training are the following:

• How to identify young children in distress and provide them with adequate support?
• How to protect, interact, communicate with, involve, and support young children and their families who have experienced traumatic situations without doing them any harm?
• What early childhood practitioners should (or should not do) to ensure that internally displaced or refugee children develop in a safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment where they can heal from harmful experiences, affirm their identity and childhood, and continue to play and learn alongside their peers?
• How can early childhood practitioners ensure that they are promoting respect for diversity and empathy?
• How early childhood practitioners can take care of personal and team well-being and mental health, to be able to serve children and families in the most efficient way?

The Foundational Training on Psychological First Aid (PFA) and trauma-informed practices for young children and their caregivers is built around three building blocks. You can read an excerpt of the Training Guide by clicking the "read the excerpt" button.

This guidebook was developed as part of the "Transition Is Our Mission" (TIM) project, aimed at ensuring a smooth transition for children from preschool to primary school. The document provides research-based insights and practical tools for educators and other stakeholders involved in this transition, focusing on developmental, pedagogical, and professional continuity. It includes guidelines and examples of good practices from Croatia, Latvia, and Slovenia, addressing challenges such as ensuring consistency in teaching approaches and providing support to families. The guidebook's main goal is to help schools and preschools create a supportive, child-centered transition that enhances both academic and social outcomes. The resource is inspiring due to its cross-country collaboration and emphasis on inclusive education for all children, including those from vulnerable backgrounds.

The InTrans project ultimate goal is to ensure that all children and families — especially the most vulnerable — benefit from warm and inclusive transitional practice in ECEC and school.

To achieve this goal, the project is supporting professionals through action at the policy advocacy and training levels.

At the level of policy and governance, InTrans is facilitating activities to create awareness, knowledge development, and exchange for national and international policymakers in order for them to develop a shared vision on warm and inclusive transitions and corresponding policy measurements.

More concretely, the project has conducted a policy analysis research in each of the four countries involved (Belgium, Finland, Italy and Slovenia). This Executive Summary has been put together based on the resulting baseline policy country reports. In addition, a set of infographics have been created to provide an overview of the present state of early childhood care and education systems in country (including Denmark).

The Module “The care of small and/or sick newborns” is intended to support home visitors in providing advice and support to parents and families of small and/or sick newborns before and after the discharge from health facilities.

Part 1 provides information about supporting families while the baby is still in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) or Pediatric ward.

Part 2 focuses on the care for small and/or sick newborns at home.

"Let's Play" Activity Cards - Play-based activities for healing and learning

The "Let’s Play" Activity Cards contain play-based activities developed to stimulate and support children whose play has been affected by the war in Ukraine. The content emphasizes the healing power of play as a vehicle for children to express themselves and their feelings, while at the same time continuing to learn and explore the world around them.

Parents, caregivers, professionals and volunteers working in formal and non-formal Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) programs can use them as a way of alleviating stress, supporting their involvement in children’s play, strengthening their connection with children, and as a means of providing children with a sense of safety and comfort.

Available in Armenian, Bulgarian, Czech, English, Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, and Ukrainian.

The "European Qualification Framework of Diversity Ambassador in ECEC environments” has been developed with the aim to improve ECEC HR management, to profile critical knowledge, skills and attitudes required to respond to individual and group needs of children from different backgrounds and with special educational exigencies. Specific learning resources complement the EQF profile in order to smoothly develop the role of a Diversity Ambassador: a key feature of a diversity positive ECEC provision. Also, the tool eases the readability of the profile, thus ultimately the professionals' mobility, across Europe.

The EQF of Diversity Ambassador in ECEC environments has been developed and produced by the Diversity+ consortium under the leadership of CIAPE.

Available in English, Bulgarian, Czech, Italian and Slovak.
