This insight session is an opportunity to explore the idea behind cultural capital We will consider the principles of the theory in an early years context; thinking about modern opportunities to enhance children’s cultural capital. Events happening in the world today are discussed and attendees can understand what this means for children’s essential knowledge.
The Early Years Alliance is the largest and most representative early years membership organisation in England. We support early years providers to deliver quality, affordable and sustainable care and learning to families, and work to ensure that all children, regardless of background, are given the best possible start in life. The Alliance’s vision is a society where every child enjoys the same opportunity to learn through play. We believe families should be at the centre of policy-making and parents empowered to become more involved with their child’s learning and development.
