Participant Testimonials – Sweden

The Education Trip to Sweden met my expectations on so many levels, YES! I love that children are given freedom of expression. I wish the system in the UK could be more heavily weighted in favour of the child and that it did away with a culture of fear forced on us by inspections, the media and the public.” – Michelle, Early Years Manager, UK

My expectations were met over and above what I could have imagined, all the experiences, not just in the settings but also activities arranged for us out of the environment where the staff team joined. – Chloe Early Years Professional, UK

I’m completely inspired by the “feeling” of the environment. Set of skills/tools I can use in my work and life. It was thought-provoking and inspiring” – Lisa, Early Years Centre Manager, UK
