Culture, language and identity are key concepts in Te Whāriki- the early childhood sociocultural curriculum. In an increasingly globalised world, how do teachers honour children’s individualities, their identities, languages and cultures?

Children’s and teachers’ stories could become a small step towards the change we seek in the world, towards democracy, inclusion and acceptance.
