* Based on papers presented at the European Forum for Child Welfare (EFCW) (Hamburg, Germany, April, 1992) and the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) Conference (Denver, Colorado, November 1991).
In this text, three papers examine
the distinction between education and schooling as it impacts multicultural
education in democratic societies; describe and give examples of
teaching that is responsive to children of diverse needs and cultures;
and profile the successes of and challenges faced by a project in
the Ruhr Valley of Germany that provides services to Turkish preschool
children and their mothers.
