Peer Learning Activities

Our strength lies in the expertise and diversity of our Members and their active engagement. We harness this diversity through Peer Learning Activities.

ISSA Members have diverse theoretical expertise in various areas of Early Childhood Development. They are strong in practical experience, project implementation, advocacy, and organizational development. This diversity grows the knowledge transfer among member organizations and their staff.

Together we explore new initiatives and enrich existing programs across countries. All ISSA Members beneﬁt from Peer Learning Activities, to build capacity and deepen their knowledge of best practices. All Peer Learning Activities (PLAs) are ﬁnancially supported by ISSA with ﬁnancial or in-kind contributions from members.

It reminded us where our roots are.'
