Education is a human right that facilitates the enjoyment of other rights and citizenship of every human being, for this reason, no one should be excluded of their access. In Agenda 2030, all countries in the world have set out to work for an inclusive, equitable and quality education and lifelong learning for everyone. Education begins at birth and in early childhood when the foundation for a comprehensive, full and powerful human development are laid. This process is only possible through rich and purposeful social relations within the framework of each culture. Children's links with their families, significant people, their peers, their teachers, neighbors, professionals, community members and others, are social devices that allow them to start building their reality, giving meaning to the relationchips it establishes, making knowledge and cultural appropriation possible.

At the 2019 International Conference, OMEP proposes to reflect on:

1. the diversity of identities present in early childhood care and education, and
2. on the cultures in which development is possible.

To think of diversity and plurality in the ways of educating, living and developing. It is to recognize that the role of education must transcend the institutionalized spaces and extend to all areas where children live and grow. We recognize that human formation occurs in diverse contexts that have particular dynamics and social and cultural identities themselves. For this reason, we propose to think critically about adult-centered, colonialist and patriarchal ideas, highlighting the importance of working for the achievement of equity, inclusion and gender equality.

We also want to highlight and draw attention that the participation of children in the cultural life of the community is a right from birth and an important element for the belonging and identity of children: Boys and girls should enjoy and experience cultural life of their family, community and society. But it also must be recognized that children adopt, transform, create and transmit culture through imaginative play, art and other activities, translating and adapting their meanings through their own generational experience and building a "culture of childhood ".
