ISSA Member VBJK is launching the new Flemish magazine on ECEC Kindertijd (which means ‘childhood’ in Dutch). The first issue of the magazine will be published in the fall of 2021. That means that VBJK will end the collaboration with the Dutch magazine KIDDO in June.

Recently early childhood education was included in the National Defense Strategy of Romania for 2020-2024 as a part of the presidential program Educated Romania. President Klaus Iohannis noted that the strategy was drawn up against the background of the COVID-19 pandemic, which triggered a deep economic crisis and altered power relations. The new strategy for the country provides answers to essential questions regarding the priority national objectives for ensuring the security of Romania and its citizens.
