    Abstract

    This book addresses the field of values education in early childhood education and care (ECEC) settings. In a globalizing world, and especially in an age of pluralism, the acknowledgment of values has become increasingly important. A genuine pluralistic community requires institutions and open spaces for a multiplicity of values to be pronounced and communicated. The communication of values, in a broad and diverse sense, is central in any pedagogy and in all ECEC settings throughout the world.
