Tony Eaude argues that the foundations of a robust but flexible
identity are formed in early childhood and that children live
within many intersecting and sometimes conflicting cultures. He
considers three meanings of culture, associated with (often
implicit) values and beliefs; the arts; and spaces for growth. In
exploring how young children's identities, as constructed and
constantly changing narratives, are shaped, he discusses
controversial, intersecting factors related to power in terms of
race/ethnicity, gender, religion, class, physical ability and age.
Eaude explores how young children learn, often tacitly,
highlighting reciprocity, example, habituation and children's
agency and voice. He emphasises the importance of a sense of
belonging, created through trusting relationships, and inclusive
environments, with adults drawing on and extending children's
cultural capital and 'funds of knowledge.' Eaude shows how a
holistic education requires a breadth of opportunities across and
beyond the school curriculum, and highlights how play, the
humanities and the arts enable children to explore how it is to be
human, and to become more humane, broadening horizons and helping
challenge preconceptions and stereotypes. This radical, inclusive
and culturally sensitive vision, for an international audience,
challenges many current assumptions about identity, culture,
childhood and education.
