Where: Woden Valley Child Care Centre, 1 Dann Cl, Garran ACT 2605, Australia

Who: The session will be co-run by Gabby Millgate, and the Woden Valley Early Learning Centre.

Cost: TBC 

 

Event Information:

A special Floriade community showcase at Woden Valley Early Learning Centre.

We would simply like you to come and experience it and imagine how a child would feel if they were part of planting a Floriade Garden

The event will celebrate the ways young children encounter nature, place, beauty, curiosity and belonging through early childhood education.

Each space will offer a different expression of Nature Pedagogy, children’s participation and ecological learning, with opportunities to move through the service, listen, observe and experience the environments for yourself.

This is not a workshop about nature pedagogy. It’s a chance to experience it—and take it back with you.

Event Information:

The words we use have a surprising impact on the way we think about the world, how we act, what we value and how we orientate.

 

Part conversation, part collective imagining, part poetry slam - this session is for educators curious about a world of 'what if....'.

In our July Learning Circle you'll be guided by Cate McQuillen, creator, storyteller, producer, Emmy Award winner and social innovator, to unpack the emerging language of regenerative education. This will be an interactive Learning Circle asking us to explore new possibilities for the future and consider how language itself is a powerful tool for change.
