    Author's accepted version (postprint).This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Wiley in Children & Society on 25/08/2021.Available online: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/chso.12491What help is given to children in exploring linguistic and cultural diversity in their local communities? Drawing on a comparative study of Place- Based Learning (PBL) in three predominantly rural areas in Scotland, Norway and the USA, the article examines educational and cultural approaches to supporting indigenous and minority community languages. It offers examples of the potential these offer in contributing to children's personal language awareness and development and cultural learning, but finds that language and education policies are fragmented and failing in particular to take advantage of newer migrant languages as a tool for developing linguistic and intercultural skills.acceptedVersio

    Place-based learning : making use of nature in young children's learning in rural areas in Norway and Scotland

    Two case studies in outdoor learning from Norway and Scotland illustrate ways in which communities can help in developing and shaping their Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) services and schools. Presented in their geographical and historical context, including a descriptive analysis of their preschool and education systems, it is argued that their creative use of rural environments in the learning of young children illustrate the power of partnership with communities. However, creative “democratic experimentalism” of this kind requires flexibility within the curriculum and a supportive educational culture.publishedVersio
