EC Learning Circle : Flexible Strength: Building Resilience in a Challenging World

Calling educators across Australia! Are you eager to embed the EYLF 2.0 sustainability principle? Do you want to connect with like-minded professionals who share your vision for a sustainable future?

The Australian Early Childhood Sustainability Alliance is thrilled to invite you to our online learning circle on Monday 16th March 2026 7pm-8pm AEDT.

Flexible strength: Building resilience in a changing world

Children and families face challenges every day. Increasingly, these include the physical, emotional and social effects of severe weather - heatwaves, cyclones, floods, bushfires. As educators, we now support children experiencing issues that didn’t have names in our own childhoods: climate anxiety, eco-grief, solastalgia. How can we help children build the knowledge, skills and attitudes to cope with these complexities – now and into their futures?

Dr Andrea Baldwin is an ecopsychologist and children’s author. For the past decade, she has been one of a small number of mental health professionals specializing in early childhood and climate change. Andrea’s learning circle will explore how evidence-based principles for helping children build resilience can be applied practically and creatively in early learning settings, to help children and families cope with their changing world.

Free to members from participating Alliance networks EEEC (VIC), LGS (WA), ECET (TAS), QECSN (QLD), (NSW) EYNC
