Bruce Pascoe is a Bunurong, Yuin and Tasmanian man, author of Dark Emu, and Young Dark Emu, and experimental farmer.
Many early childhood teachers have found his writing has changed their understanding of Aboriginal land management. Insights from this work are feeding into curriculum choices. We are excited to be able to present Bruce Pascoe speaking about growing in Australia. Bruce will be presenting live online from Lakes Entrance.
Ame ChristensenAme is a founding member of ECOLN.
This session will introduce Ame's research into equity and inclusive practices. Drawing on the ‘pedagogy of listening’ (Rinaldi 2001) and the ‘social relational model of disability’ (Thomas 2004) this project explores children’s individual and group experiences of nature kindergarten. Ame will present live online from coastal NSW. |
