Abstract
At a time of converging and existential crises, the paper argues for, and examines the meaning of, a democratic culture and politics as first practice as necessary conditions for the transformative change needed for survival and flourishing. While acknowledging that such change needs to be comprehensive, including all education, the paper considers in particular the meaning of democratic culture and politics as first practice for early childhood education, and some of the processes that might bring them about.
