Centre Of Excellence In Parenting - Alternativa

Background The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership. SDG 4 focuses on Quality Education and to "ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all." Responding to immense demand, Parenting for Lifelong Health (PLH) is at the forefront of a global movement to scale inclusive playful parenting solutions to every parent, everywhere – especially to those living in the Global South and in crisis situations. Our Vision and Principles Our shared vision is that every parent, everywhere, has the capacity to improve child development and learning outcomes and reduce family violence. Our activities focus on Building long-term sustainability for scaling playful parenting in the Global South through Parenting for Lifelong Health and with the support of the Global Parenting Initiative (GPI). Overalls Goal The overall goal of PLH is to make a substantial contribution to achieving SDG4, along with other SDG outcomes linked to child learning and wellbeing through the scale-up of inclusive, evidence-based playful parenting support on a systemic level. As part of a collective movement dedicated to scaling playful parenting solutions, PLH aims to improve parent-child relationships and learning through play, which will, in turn, reduce violence against children (SDG16), improve parental mental health (SDG3), and improve family nurturing care behaviours, male engagement, and partner relationships (SDG5), resulting in improved child development and education outcomes (SDG4).
