 A three-part online series for early childhood educators and leaders

Children are growing up in a changing climate, but early learning services are not always given the practical tools, time or support needed to respond.

This interactive professional learning series will help early childhood educators and leaders move from concern and good intentions to meaningful, achievable action.

Rather than prescribing a single approach, the series will support participants to examine their own context, listen to children, identify existing strengths and obstacles, and begin developing a climate strategy that works for their service.

Drawing on the Early Years Climate Strategy, the Access to Nature Survey, Build Your Climate Strategy and ten years of practice at Woden Valley Early Learning Centre, participants will explore how nature pedagogy, child participation and educational leadership can build climate adaptation capability from the earliest years.

Across three fortnightly online sessions, participants will reflect, share experiences, ask questions and apply the learning between sessions. The result is a supported implementation journey.

The research is in!

There is strong evidence that being outdoors at school demonstrates "a strong relationship with lower levels of anxiety" (de la Osa et al., 2024) and that "people with more personal contact with nature are more likely to engage in activities or behaviours that support and protect it" (Soga & Gaston, 2024).

Are you an educator who can see the benefits of nature connection for your students? Would you like to learn more about the hows and whys of teaching through/with nature?

Join us for an interactive online professional learning series designed to support educators bring nature connection into everyday teaching and learning.
