OMEP’s message to CCNGO Proposal to create an international Decade for Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE)  The World Organisation for Early Childhood (OMEP), at its World Assembly in  2015, adopted the recommendation to  propose an  UN international Decade for Early Childhood Care and Education. The Croatian government sent this  proposal to UNESCO in July 2015 The assistant director general for Education, M. Qian  TANG, supports this proposal, stating  in his letter to OMEP that "UNESCO Share OMEP' s vision of Early Childhood Care and Education as a right and the  Foundation for lifelong learning  and sustainable and peaceful societies“. The CCNGO that met May 23-24, 2016, as its First Education 2030 meeting support this recommendation and should alerte the Education 2030 steering Committee about this proposal.   The official UN procedure is that this proposal  must be  submitted to the UN General Assembly in  September 2016.

Latest news Education and Academia Stakeholder Group that is taking off, is to submit to the High Level Political Forum (HLPF) a document focusing on the overarching theme of its  meeting in July: leaving no one behind. The High Level Political Forum is the central UN platform for the follow-up and review of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

An ESD working group Glynne Mackey, Selma Simonstein, Eunhye Park, Ingrid Engdahl, Judith Wagner and Ingrid Pramling Samuelsson We have had a lot of work via email and Skype, but met three days in April in Sweden to develop strategies for our ESD work. We began to implement the plan for selecting, categorizing and uploading material from OMEP to the UNESCO Resource Bank, including examples for the OMEP ESD Rating Scale. We also determined how to further integrate the OMEP’s ESD work with the new OMEP WASH collaboration with UNICEF. Ingrid Engdahl is participating in the Network 3 meeting in Paris right now.

Future goals include Arranging a workshop on ESD for annual conferences, including a workshop on the OMEP’s ESD Rating Scale in 2016  Encouraging more people to be engaged in sustainability work with young children and to contribute material from different cultural contexts for the UNESCO Resource Bank Helping to complete the new WASH publication in collaboration with UNICEF  Launch the competition for the 2017 ESD Travel Award  Strategically promote a Decade for Early Childhood Education Create a separate webpage for the OMEP’s ESD contribution to the UNESCO GAP Resource page to be linked with the World OMEP Website  Encourage Vice Presidents and National Committee Presidents to include ESD workshops in all regional conferences Seek financial support for future ESD meetings, one a year in addition to the conference
