In 2022, ISSA Member, CIP-Center for Interactive Pedagogy developed the Parenting on the Move program with the support of Save the Children North West Balkans. By combining psychological support, education, and entertainment, the program aims to empower families in creating conditions for wellbeing, resilience and education of children up to 12 years old during situations of migration.

Early years settings have a huge role to play in society. They contribute to children’s learning and development, support them to develop social relations, and function as a ‘gateway’ into society. They also allow parents to work, engage in educational programs and even meet and bond with other parents. In most countries, early childhood education and care (ECEC) centers focus on continuity and stability, creating additional thresholds for families to meet, specifically those who have lower access to childcare.
