Rethinking the concepts of citizenship and community in relation to
young children, this groundbreaking text examines the ways in which
indigenous understandings and practices applied in early childhood
settings in Australia and New Zealand encourage young children to
demonstrate their care and concern for others and so, in turn,
perceive themselves as part of a larger community. Young Children's
Community Building in Action acknowledges global variations in the
meanings of early childhood education, of citizenship and community
building, and challenges widespread invisibility and disregard of
Indigenous communities. Through close observation and examination
of early years settings in Australia and New Zealand, chapters
demonstrate how practices guided by Aboriginal and Maori values
support and nurture children's personal and social development as
individuals, and as citizens in a wider community. Exploring what
young children's citizenship learning and action looks like in
practice, and how this may vary within and across communities, the
book provides a powerful account of effective pedagogical
approaches which have been long excluded from mainstream dialogues.
Written for researchers and students of early childhood education
and care, this book provides insight into what citizenship can be
for young children, and how Indigenous cultural values shape ways
of knowing, being, doing and relating.
