SamenvattingThis article discusses a SUMBI project that is linked to the
Effectiveness Initiative* and that is developing and applying an innovative way of finding out how to collect the opinions of children aged three to five. The children attend ‘Wawa Utas’ (Children’s Houses in the Aymara language) and ‘Wawa Wasis’ (Children’s Houses in the Quechua language) which are centres of the Programas no Escolarizados de Educación Inicial (Non-formal Initial Education Programmes). The work described here is in two communities, one in the city of Puno in the remote and impoverished high Andes, the other in a poor suburb of the capital, Lima. As the article makes clear, the investigation is in its early stages and further development is necessary. This includes exploring deeper subjects; asking more open questions to enable fuller discussions; and – as with most of the work discussed in this edition of
Early Childhood Matters – putting value on what children express and then deciding how to act on it.
