😰 the forum has been cancelled at the last minute because the funder suspects that we would "seriously push for the decolonization of early childhood research and intervention." Thanks Nandita Chaudhary, Catherine Draper, S. Koller, heidikeller, S. Oppong (†) for your efforts

So sorry Gabriel Scheidecker. Very ridiculous. So it only funds programs that pretend to decolonize!! This raises doubts on that funding organisation. In this way, colonialism persists.
