Pathways to belonging: A collaborative online resource to support teachers working with refugee and immigrant children

This article explores the intricate connections between identity and place in early childhood education with refugee and immigrant children and their families, by focusing on the work of five early childhood settings. The article foregrounds the development of an online resource, that provides illustrative examples from the early childhood settings. Through immersive experiences with the local land, storytelling in home languages, communal food practices, and role-play activities informed by cultural values, these educators created rich environments that honour the identities and experiences of children and their families and helped to support a growing sense of belonging.

Abstract

This article explores the intricate connections between identity and place in early childhood education with refugee and immigrant children and their families, by focusing on the work of five early childhood settings. The article foregrounds the development of an online resource, that provides illustrative examples from the early childhood settings. Through immersive experiences with the local land, storytelling in home languages, communal food practices, and role-play activities informed by cultural values, these educators created rich environments that honour the identities and experiences of children and their families and helped to support a growing sense of belonging.
