Abstract
Symposium Description:
The Climate Change Education Network (CCEN) has been engaging in climate change education (CCE) since the Black Summer bushfires (early 2020). We are a group of academics now spanning Australia (and occasionally beyond) who are committed to CCE. We meet regularly to discuss what is interesting and actionable in our worlds, sharing stories and ideas, and working in solidarity. This symposium enables us to reflect and collaborate around three initiatives/presentations that are core to CCE and the work of CCEN.
1: Regenerative Leadership reminds us that to lead means to guide and collaborate and to practice this regeneratively we must pay attention to our ethical, responsible, ways of being, knowing and doing. This can be especially challenging in neoliberal universities.
2: Pedagogy adapts with our audiences and depending on our underlying philosophies about education. In this presentation we consider the decisions made when we focus on teachers, students, and community. We highlight some pedagogical practices that successfully engage learners when considering climate change education.
3: Prioritising Indigenous knowledges and practices enables us to work together. Relational interactions and collaborations with Indigenous colleagues may not always be possible or easy. We should encourage collaboration and solidarity in creating our shared future.
