What if we could captivate children with the magic of sustainability through embedding sustainability projects aligned to the EYLF?

Interactive, practical, playful in person sessions which:

  • Guide educators to reflect on what they're already achieving across learning environments, practices, and pedagogies

  • Share practical case studies across the three sustainability dimensions that align with the EYLF

  • Empower educators to develop a customised Sustainability Principal Action Plan

Thank you Mosman Council for funding the pilot sessions for local ECECs.

  • "It has been fantastic to see the ideas from other schools and the passion of the teachers.

    This space gave me knowledge and a lot of hope.

    Talking about the environment is essential, especially with children, and this course has given me the initiative and motivation to keep working for the environment and to create positive change in future generations, the community, and our planet.”

    - Chavelly, Early Years Educator

  • “Great workshop with Sally.

    She brought so many ideas and such positive energy to the session.

    It was a truly inspiring day, with a really nice and friendly atmosphere.”

    - Klara Jurcekova, Early Years Educator

  • Sally is amazing!

    She explains everything really well and engaged us (educators) to brainstorm useful ideas.

    Really recommend to do the workshop to connect with others and learn more about sustainability.
