Ec Pec Staff Trained in New Anti-Bias Method

January 2008

The Ec Pec Foundation, ISSA's Hungarian member organization, is proud to announce that it has begun implementing the Persona Dolls training method. The Persona Doll training programme uses dolls as an an effective, non-threatening and enjoyable way to raise equality issues and counter stereotypical and discriminatory thinking with students, early years practitioners and young children. Two Ec Pec trainers participated in a Persona Doll Training in London in December 2007. The Foundation has begun the accreditation process necessary in order to provide the trainings to teachers in Hungary. Ec Pec hopes to create a Persona Doll Training Center which would host trainings, training materials, and a network database. The Ec Pec Foundation is happy to share its experiences with other ISSA members.
