Pikler at the Kassel Documenta!
Brazilian artist Graziela Kunsch is at the 15th Documenta in Kassel, Germany, with the project Public Daycare. Documenta is the world's most important exhibition of contemporary art and is held every 5 years. We are very happy/ that the pedagogy of Dr. Emmi Pikler will be shared by Graziela Kunsch. Kunsch will set up a day care center for parents and children inspired by Pikler's practice and theory, which will be available to parents and their children free of charge. In a second room, visitors without children will find photographs by Marian Reismann, videos and a variety of books and other materials related to Emmi Pikler's pedagogy.
Meeting of the “exchanges and transmissions” working group
The first meeting of the "exchanges and transmissions" working group was held on February 27, 2021, by video conference.
It was conducted in English and French, thanks to very competent translators, which allowed the discussion to take place with fluidity. It brought together a dozen people from five continents.
The rich and interesting discussions focused on:
• The conduction of the setting up of the Pikler approach in different childcare structures under the same administration.
• A reflection and a practice carried out about the familiarization in childcare, based on a text from the childcare study group.
• An illustration of the rights of children in institutions as defined by the Pikler Loczy Association of Hungary
• Exchanges from different places about parent-child groups.
