The NSW Early Childhood Environmental Education Network (ECEEN) is a community of educators, families and children striving to create living and learning spaces within our communities that reflect and encourage sustainable practises.
We believe that experiences in our early years provide an opportunity for life strong learning, that our habits of future years will be influenced by the actions of those around us who help us to see, to think, to question and to value our world.
ECEEN supports NSW Early Childhood communities by connecting services with information, resources and organisations within their community. We run network meetings and forums, lend resources, offer training sessions, and facilitate the development of a community of practise.
Education for sustainability (EfS) aims to promote a sense of responsibility, respect, empowerment, active participation, enquiry and social change. It’s a holistic approach that fits well into quality early childhood settings. EfS recognises the importance of individual and organizational wellbeing while working with services in areas such as biodiversity, environmental health and resource use. |
