WELCOME FROM THE CONFERENCE CHAIRWe are delighted to welcome you at the 23rd EECERA (European Early Childhood Education Research Association) conference in Tallinn University, Estonia! Since 1991 EECERA has established its position as the leading early childhood research conference in European countries. EECERA conferences have had a crucial role both in the formation of the multidisciplinarity field of early childhood reasearch as well as in the theoretical and methodological development of the field. At the same time, due to an increasing number of participants invited to the conference, the scope of the conference has widened to include not only European, but also global issues. Today we are glad to inform you that EECERA 2013 is hosting more than 600 participants from 49 countries spanning six continents.

The theme of this year’s conference is „Values, Culture and Contexts”. The 13 strands are: values and value education; culture, community & society; ECEC contexts, transition & practices; children’s rights, democracy & participation; play and learning; diversity & inclusion; innovative/alternative approaches; learning environment; professionalism & teacher’s role; leadership and quality; curriculum & assessment; paradigms, theories & methodologies; international research in ECEC.

We would like to offer special thanks to our keynote speakers Kathy Sylva from the University of Oxford, Nora Milotay from the European Commission, Nandita Chaudhary from the University of Delhi and Gennady Kravtsov from the Vygotsky Institute of Psychology. We would like to acknowledge the support received from the Estonian Ministry of Education and Research (Minister Jaak Aaviksoo) and the indispensable help from Tallinn University Conference Centre (Kerli Kangro and her colleagues) as well as intellectual support and good advice from EECERA Scientific Committee (Chris Pascal, Tony Bertram, Júlia Formosinho, Kristina Nugin, Aino Ugaste, Tiia Õun, Kristi Vinter, Lehte Tuuling and Airi Niilo).

We hope that You will all have many stimulating discussions during the conference in a truly global environment.

On behalf of the Organising Committee

BREAKFAST WORKSHOPSFriday, August 307.30-8.30

WORKSHOP 1 room M340Say Hello with a Smile - Against Bullying in Nursery Schools. How to Involve Pre-School Children, Nursery School Staff and Parents in Anti-Bullying Work? MARIA STOOR-GRENNER | Folkhälsans förbund, FinlandJENNIE STOLZMANN-FRANKENHAEUSER | Folkhälsans förbund, FinlandANNIKA HEIKKILÄ | Folkhälsans förbund, Finland

The objectives of the workshop is to show how you can connect a project to an concrete anti-bullying tool by giving children a sense of responsibility for other children and make them appreciate the importance of friendship. Research has shown that early intervention is important and even crucial in the efforts for preventing bullying. Through the campaign, young children are included and enrolled in this work. Moreover, nursery school staff and parents of the children are included in the work to prevent and stop bullying.

WORKSHOP 2 room M225Publishing Workshop for Early Career Researchers. Tips from Taylor & Francis to Help You SucceedVICTORIA QUANTRELL | Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group, United KingdomANNAMARIE KINO-WYLAM | Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group, United Kingdom

In the academic world, publishing papers in academic journals is becoming increasingly important for all academics, especially those starting their careers. The process of submitting a paper to journal, understanding the peer review process and getting your paper accepted is a mysterious world. In this presentation you will find out how to choose the best journal for your paper, how to prepare the perfect manuscript and find out the top ten reasons why your paper could be rejected.

The second strand of the workshop presents a broad overview of academic book publishing, explaining the conceptual and writing work involved in developing a book proposal. The presentation aims to give participants a better idea of how commissioning editors work and what publishers are looking for, addressing the key areas of focus, readership and style. The presentation will then look in detail at how to prepare a publication proposal and offer an insight into the publishing process. Finally there will be some advice on identifying a suitable publisher and a summary of top tips to help maximise chances of success.
