On March 26, 2025 the Race, Racism, Equity and Diversity Working Group led a meaningful and thought provoking discussion on the powerful themes of two movies, “Origin” and “Stamped from the Beginning“, and their relevance to Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE). We all come with different experiences shaped by history, culture, power dynamics, colour of our skin, religion, caste and personal journeys—but we share a common vision: to nurture children in a world that values dignity, fairness, belonging and equity.
Together we explored how as individuals, family, community and power groups we communicate messages—through play, socialization, social practices, media and everyday interactions—that can shape a more inclusive and just future for all children.
