ICDP Finland has yet another busy year to look back at with trainings, meetings and efforts to make the ICDP programme sustainable in Finland.
We received a great Midsummer present from the government sponsored ITLA Children’s Foundation. ITLA promotes early interventions for children and families in Finland and does systematic reviews to determine the effectiveness and implement ability of different methods and programmes. The review of ICDP in its Finnish context resulted in 4/5 points, which provides a good base for our future ICDP efforts.
In September we got to meet ICDP colleagues from around the world as ICDP trainers from Save the Children Finland met with us in Helsinki and we learned more about how the programme is promoted in different parts of the world.
In the picture above, from October 2024, you can see participants in our bi-annual Finnish trainer day, where we got to share lots of thoughts, experiences and laughter.
