Episode 9: Authentic Sustainability in Early Childhood Education with Bronwyn Cron
In this episode of For Your Ears, From the Early Years, host Lili-Ann Kriegler chats with sustainability expert Bronwyn Cron about embedding authentic sustainability into early childhood education. With over 30 years of experience, Bronwyn shares her journey and offers practical, real-world insights on how educators can integrate sustainability into their everyday teaching practices without feeling overwhelmed.
From creating place-based learning experiences to incorporating First Nations cultural perspectives, Bronwyn emphasises the importance of starting small, building on what you’re already doing, and fostering a deeper connection between children and the natural world. Together, we explore how authentic sustainability is not an extra task but a meaningful way to engage children and their communities in preserving the planet for future generations.
Tune in to discover how you can create a lasting impact through sustainable, authentic learning!
