Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this new chapter, the authors from Sweden provide a context for ECEfS by first describing key features of the Swedish early education system. They highlight that there is an underlying framework that supports sustainability education and the active participation of children in decision making around sustainability issues, even though sustainability, as such, is not overt within key national early childhood curriculum documents. They then discuss recent Swedish research related to ECEfS, identifying that, while advances are being made, there is a way to go in upskilling practitioners in ECEfS understandings and practices. They finish their chapter by outlining an example of ECEFS in practice that integrates all dimensions of sustainability – environment, economics and the social – and illustrates how young children can be actors and change agents within their communities.
