The specific section on The World Forum Foundation titled “World
Play” is particularly relevant to my current professional development being
that it capitulate my personal philosophy of the importance of play when it
comes to children’s healthy well-being and development. The purpose of World Play is to ensure that
children have the opportunity to mature, explore and discover, and learn
through play all while providing space, equipment and resources that cultivates
physical, emotional, cognitive, and social advancement.
The Voices of Hope for Children Impacted by
HIV/AIDS, is an issue/trend on The World Forum Foundation that has added
new insight to my understanding. Disclosing children and families affected by
this disease can be a very sensitive and controversial topic. This organization
has taken a stance regarding HIV and AIDS by serving as a forum for families,
educators, and protective partners of the early childhood field that strive to
foster and accommodate high-quality learning environments for children and
families effected by HIV/AIDS.
The
World Forum Foundation has joined in alliance with international organizations
to support early childhood education around the world. The collaborations between
these organizations share how economists, neuroscientists, and politicians
support the field of early childhood. Some of their alliances include: Mother
Child Education Foundation (AECV), National Association for the Education of
Young Children (NAYEC), The RISE Institute, and the Consultative Group.
New
insights that I gained about the issues and trends in the early childhood field
from exploring this website is about Clinton’s Global Initiatives. Clinton’s
Global Initiative is composed of global leaders that meet annually to actualize
ingenious explications to critical issues and trends in the early childhood
field.

Really neat to see how all these things can come together and work as one for children! Seems like these people are all about proper child development (through play). I wish others would be more capable of seeing and realizing children this young need their play time. We are forcing them to mature too quickly! I really like how they have high quality learning environments for children affected by hiv/aids also. That's really neat! Great review of the website!
ReplyDeleteDionna,
ReplyDeleteI especially liked the part in your post about the purpose of the World Play. It is encouraging to see that there are opportunities out there now where children are encouraged to play. Thank you for your post.
