Using the Arts in Early Childhood Environmental Education
A presentation from Dr. Jayne Osgood

This lecture weaves a web of alternative thinking and being, that lies outside the traditional structures that shape our early childhood classrooms. Through an arts-based research project with four-year-old children, the research examines everyday encounters to rethink child development and environmental education.

Key themes include

• Challenging human exceptionalism and embracing ‘unlearning’
• Language, representation and exclusion
• Noticing and attuning to everyday wonders
• Valuing neurodivergent perspectives and sensitivities

These themes are interwoven to highlight the potential of rejecting the conventional approach of the ‘thought out project’.
