This document brings together the responses to a survey on Early Childhood Care and Education in the context of Education for Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship, initiated by GAP Partner Network 3 on educators, in the framework of preparing the UNESCO 2019 Forum. 

Key findings

A majority of respondents recommend better cooperation, both in sharing of educational resources and in general, between early childhood structures and GAP Key Partners. According to them, the best way to transmit values and teach ESD to children is through play. This must be done in a fun way, in contact with nature. Concerning training, practical and continuous training of childcare educators is requested and recommended. This should facilitate the integration of ESD and global citizenship, as well as provide insights for enhancing the content of teacher education.
