Symposium «Psychological Well-Being in Preschool Age» under the auspices of the Commission of the Russian Federation for UNESCO

About the Project

In our era of digitalisation and social change, ensuring the psychological well-being of preschoolers is inextricably linked to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals in education. This is not just a priority pedagogical task, but a key factor in ensuring the stable and harmonious development of society in the future. It is during preschool that the foundations for emotional intelligence, stress resilience, and a positive outlook are laid.

Recognising this importance, the UNESCO Chair in Early Childhood Education and Development of the International Academy of Preschool Education has arranged the forthcoming International Symposium in August 2026 focused on the psychological well-being of preschoolers.
