A leading national environmental education award has been won by Canberra PhD student Monty Nixon, recognised at the 2025 AAEE National Award for Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI).
The honour follows Monty's recent ACT-level award from the Australian Association for Environmental Education for Emerging Environmental Educator 2025, acknowledging his Canberra Based research exploring how indigenous ways of being, knowing and doing can strengthen Australia's education systems.
AAEE ACT ACT President (elect, 2026) Gabby Millgate said the recognition reflects the national importance of Monty's work.
"AAEE sees this work as vital as Monty's work means students build ecological literacy and ways of caring for Country. This is how we develop climate resilience in our children."
Monty is a PhD student at the university of Canberra, where his research supports students to build meaningful relationships with the places they live- a foundation for strong Country-centered learning and climate ready communities.
