World Forum Networking Project Winner

There’s the good guy and the bad guy in all of us, but knowing that doesn’t need to overwhelm us. Whatever we can do to help ourselves – and anybody else – discover that’s true, can really make a difference in this life.
Fred Rogers

Pademelon Press is delighted to announce that, after much consideration of the numerous very worthy submissions received, the next World Forum Networking Project has been selected. The project, "Plan to Revitalize a European Men in Childcare Network," will be led by Lauk Woltring from The Netherlands, together with Timothy Moran from Ireland and Kenny Spence from the United Kingdom. The aim will be to bring together men from European countries that are active in promoting male involvement in early childhood education, share experiences, and support each other. An informative report on achievements will be presented at the 2009 World Forum on Early Care and Education in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Sponsors of the World Forum Networking Project are Pademelon Press and The New South Wales Department of Community Services, both located in Sydney, Australia.
