List the positive possibilities of education for sustainability. How can this fit with existing notions of learning in ECEC?
This reading is particularly helpful in explaining broad understandings of the topic of sustainability and why it is important. It is a useful reading for

suggests that early childhood education for sustainability “is explicitly about creating social change, and central to the changes is

This is not a simple or easy task as we deal with the daily challenges of teaching, managing and working in our communities.
