International Contacts

After exploring the Harvard website http://developingchild.harvard.edu/initiatives/global_initiative/. I’ve learned that the Center for Developing Child at Harvard has launched a Global Children’s Initiative and they are focusing on three main objectives:

1. To Reframe public discourse about the early childhood period.
2. To support innovative, multidisciplinary research and demonstration projects in selected countries or regions.
3. To build leadership capacity in child development research and policy among individuals and institutions in low and middle income countries.

What I like about this center is that they are morally committed to all needs of children globally.   For example the new Brazil Initiative is for highly motivated students to participate in the Executive Leadership Program in the Early Childhood Development for Brazilian policymakers. 

This website is very informative and is committed to connecting with other countries and learning from one another.  Harvard is using their knowledge to create a better early childhood program globally.   Overall I have gained that Harvard has created a program to connect globally to increase the knowledge of child health and development agenda’s beyond the Harvard community.
