GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INTERNATIONAL CONTACTS PART 2

I have not received any response back from my emails. But I am waiting patiently but for this assignment I did have a chance to tour Harvard University's Global Children's Initiative website.



The National Scientific Council on the Developing Child is a multi-disciplinary, multi-university collaboration designed to bring the science of early childhood and early brain development to bear on public decision-making. Established in 2003, the Council is committed to an evidence-based approach to building broad-based public will that transcends political partisanship and recognizes the complementary responsibilities of family, community, workplace, and government to promote the well-being of all young children. (Harvard University)

This website was very informative . This center is commitmented to all children from all over the world. They take pride on providing decision makers about the science of a child and their well being.
Their goals are:

• Building a multidisciplinary science of health, learning and behavior
• Advancing our undestanding of how to reduce disparities in well being
• Catalyzing the formulation and implementation of effective science-base policies
• Preparing future and current leaders to make science-based polocy desision (Harvard University)

They constanly have working group of Havard faculy working and implenting ways to communicate to decision makers about their program. They also have a forum to address the issues with investors and they tell them why investing in early childhood is important.
