Program Description

The Research Conversations and Inner West Network meeting will take place on Gadigal Land.

RELATIONSHIP WITH PLACE

Join us to engage in discussion about …

• • • Relationships with place- children as active citizens
• • Place based pedagogy – environment as third teacher
• • In Reggio, “Knowing the place is to know Reggio” What does this mean to you in the Australian context  and what does this place ‘say’ to you?
• • Contextual Learning

Pre thinking prior to meeting:

Dharug Custodial Leadership: Uncovering Country in the City Dr Jo Anne Rey. Particularly the concepts of Goanna Walking and the Dharug Ngurra Web

Place-based pedagogy: a pedagogy refers to an understanding that educator knowledge of the setting or context will influence how educators plan and practice. This pedagogical approach is particularly important to Aboriginal and Torres Islander peoples and their connection to land and places should be explored with local Elders and community members in culturally responsive ways.
