Froebel Trust Open Call Research Grants

Froebel Trust Open Call Research Grants

The Froebel Trust has announced an Open Call Research Grants 2019 to fund high quality research, which builds upon and contributes to knowledge and understanding of Froebelian philosophy, principles and approaches.

The Trust aims to use its funded research to inform discussions with policy makers and to provide resources for parents and professionals who work with young children and their families.

While the Trust does not set a minimum or maximum budget, applicants should note that the average research grant awarded in 2018 was £30,000.

Please note that the Trust is interested in projects which demonstrate strong value for money and therefore applicants should factor this into proposals if they wish to apply for a large or multi-year grant.

Froebelian Principles

The integrity of childhood in its own right

The relationship of every child to family, community, nature, culture and society

The uniqueness of every child’s capacity and potential

The holistic nature of the development of every child

The role of play and creativity as central integrating elements in development and learning

The right of children to protection from harm or abuse and to the promotion of their overall well-being

Research Priorities

Transition to primary school

Nurturing high quality, stable and sensitive interactions between adults / staff and children / families

Developing pedagogies of play and resourcing for play

Finding pedagogies that are inclusive of and celebrate diversity

Strategic Objectives

To contribute to deepening understanding of:
