The World Organization for Early Childhood Education (OMEP) finds among its members important professionals in the fields of pedagogy and education, intellectuals, activists and other professionals committed to early childhood (0 to 8 years old).
The critical thinking and action-taking of our group has strengthened the production of different documents in response to diverse issues that affect boys, girls and their families.
World Declarations
World Declarations are public documents that put forward political and pedagogical principles and intentions, which stem from OMEP’s World Assemblies. Their goal is to coordinate actions and demand the inclusion of ECCE in the political agenda of governments worldwide.
National and Regional Declarations: They are documents that respond to issues in context and the local political and pedagogical topics regarding ECCE.
Position Papers: They are texts that present an opinion about a problem related to ECCE. They serve as useful tools for advocacy work to defend early childhood and young children’s rights.
Adhesions: OMEP also participates in writing and promoting other manifests of NGOs that share its principles and goals.
