“…Regarding best practice for ELG 14, The World, relies heavily of the professional expertise and knowledge of practitioners to enhance the quality of children's experiences, which in disadvantaged locations may often be quite limited. The role of the practitioner is key here in having the capacity to explore and process information in order to create a broad and enlivened learning environment (Boyd, 2020). This may also involve securing access to immediate and external environments and facilities that are within the means of often limited budgets.…”

This article reports on a research project which investigated early years practitioners' perspectives of best practice and effective provision in relation to the Understanding the World area of learning of the Early Years Foundation Stage. This area of learning focuses on 'People and Communities', 'The World', and 'Technology'. A mixed methods approach utilising an online survey and semi-structured interviews generated data from early years practitioners located in nurseries and primary schools in Stoke-on-Trent, England. Practitioners' views were ascertained along with the identification of perceived obstacles impeding children's learning, social and cognitive development, and attainment.

“…Contemporary artists who are influenced by their cultural heritage often draw inspiration from ancient artworks and incorporate various elements into their artistic practices. The murals function as a means of motivation, establishing a link between historical events and contemporary times, and demonstrating the enduring significance of cultural legacy in influencing creative manifestation (Boyd, 2020). Apart from the creative individuals involved in the production of murals, art historians hold a crucial position in deciphering the cultural implications of these artworks.…”

Culture and tradition have a crucial role in molding societies, safeguarding shared experiences, and fostering a sense of identity. They are the threads that connect us to our past, spanning the gap between our roots, values, and traditions. The objective of this research is to examine the paintings at Baoning Temple from the perspective of culturally astute artists and art historians. The purpose of the research was to better comprehend the murals' cultural significance by uncovering its historical background, artistic processes, symbolic representations, and engrained interpretations. A qualitative research approach was employed to conduct semi-structured interviews with 10 selected artists and art historians. A thematic analysis was conducted on the murals of the Baoning Temple in order to identify recurrent themes and patterns. The inquiry revealed several crucial aspects, such as the historical context of the murals, the artistic techniques employed, the symbolism and depiction depicted, and the diverse cultural interpretations of significance. It was determined that the murals captured the cultural legacy of Shanxi by fusing indigenous and foreign motifs. This work makes a valuable contribution to the field of art and cultural heritage studies by providing a comprehensive analysis of the paintings at the Baoning Temple. The results demonstrate the correlation between cultural heritage and creative interpretation, enhancing our understanding of their historical and cultural significance. This study emphasizes how important it is to value and protect these murals as precious cultural treasures.

“…It is noteworthy, however, that there is some interesting work taking place at Liverpool Hope University where lecturers have worked with students and the community to develop a new framework for ECEfS that has been recognised by OMEP and will be used in UNESCO's Global Action Programme (Hirst, 2019a). The theoretical context is clearly set out by Diane Boyd (2018aBoyd ( , 2018bBoyd ( , 2019, its application with students and children outlined through specific examples by Nicola Hirst (2019aHirst ( , 2019b; articles that make interesting reading.

It is important to introduce ideas and practices to encourage young children to act sustainably so that this becomes habitual and continues in adulthood. An examination of global developments for environmental action provides a context for a more specific focus on work in early years contexts, which, it is noted, most commonly originates in Australia and Scandinavia. The UK is active but lagging behind their lead, relying on pockets of activity in certain university and nursery centres. Noting, also, a need to train staff to teach young children sustainable behaviours, how this can be done is illustrated through an action research project that helped a playgroup to establish a wildlife garden where children could learn about and care for plants and animals. Returning to the broader global picture, the chapter concludes by stressing the need for joint adult-child action to protect the planet in/on which all humans live.
