From Tokyo to Barcelona. Social innovation and equality in early childhood
Description:
A comparative study carried out by the Institute of Government and Public Policy of the UAB (IGOP-UAB) with the support of the “la Caixa” Foundation has analysed how social innovation in the 0-3 years stage can improve equality and the universalisation of early childhood education and care services.
The study was coordinated by and included researchers Raquel Gallego and Lara Maestripieri (IGOP-UAB), and Sheila González Motos (UB) and analysed seven cases of social innovation initiatives in cities around the world: Barcelona, Oslo, Seine-Saint-Denis, Portsmouth, Tel Aviv, Tokyo and Venice.
The results of the research, which have been published in book format by Emerald Publishing Limited under the title "Innovation and Welfare State Retrenchment. A Comparative Analysis of Early Childhood Education and Care in Europe and Beyond", will now be presented at this event organised by the IGOP-UAB at the Palacio Macaya.
