Flammable (eng/du/fr)
'Flammable' challenges people working in early childhood education to leave paths that are already known. Through music, images and words they discover that every child has a desire within: a desire to experiment and to create. There are no rules or laws to obey - only feeling matters.

Childcare Stories (eng/fr/du/ger/it)
Childcare Stories tells the story of 17 parents from different European member states. These stories show that childcare is an essential link in the life of the parents. The viewer is also confronted with the different meanings of childcare: it is more than just taking care of children while parents are at work. They want childcare that makes them and their children feel welcome. It has to be a partner in the education of children.
Read moreThe Construction of a new Profession (eng)
There is a broad consensus that a well-trained childcare workforce is needed if young children are to have the chances to which they are entitled. Everywhere in Europe, professionalism in childcare is on the political agenda. At the same time, the ‘care concept’ is being increasingly set aside and childcare is becoming embedded in a larger whole in which parenting and social functions have an important place.
