Collaboration between families and early childhood social workers: European fields and methods.
Organized by LIRDEF, IRTS Montpellier and the Faculty of Education, University of Montpellier.

In a changing world, the sectors directly concerned with childcare in general, and early childhood in particular, are having to adapt to multiple shifts in institutional and organizational orders. In Europe in particular, socio-demographic and political contexts - even more so in cross-border areas than in other regions - are changing rapidly, with all that this entails in terms of disturbances and opportunities (population flows in general and migratory movements in particular, variable political responses, plural manifestations of multiculturalism, specific contexts and periods). These changes are not without effect, both on the day-to-day lives of the public (first and foremost families) and on the relationship to work of the social actors involved (Torterat & Azaoui, 2021).
