Hello, Network!
I've been an avid follower of the Aces Connection Blog contributions for quite some time but this is the first time I am posting to the Community and asking for help with my work in France.
I have signed on with a Paris-based French NGO to attract the attention of the US press to a super-creative project to raise awareness about early childhood education and care in France. The initiative is focused on an actual train that will visit 14 cities all around France over a period of 3 weeks this coming November with the mission of spreading awareness of recent discoveries about brain development in early childhood, ACEs, positive parenting, attachment theory, epigenetics, emotional development, learning environments, detecting and preventing violence against children, protecting children's rights, and international initatives underway. The train will visit 14 cities, 13 regions, and over 40,000 people (parents, grandparents, early childhood professionals, local politicians, etc.) are expected to visit the train and attend workshops and conferences on a variety of subjects in each city. What a way to jump-start awareness of the high stakes of young children's care environments!
So I'd like to ask the network for all potential press leads you might know of, whether individual bloggers, newpapers, magazines, TV and radio stations/ Programmes, NGOs - anyone and everyone you think might be interested in helping to spread the word about this amazing initiative in France.
I'm currently working on translating the website and press releases into English, but thought I would solicit your help in advance in compiling a list of press to whom I might send the information.
Many thanks to all of you in advance!
