WiseEarth Education is collaborative project dedicated to running Earth connection programs to nurture and build respect for our planet. We are inspired by the principles and practices of Deep Ecology, Bioregionalism and Place-Based Education; and believe that understanding the interconnectedness of all life through experience is key to bringing about a Life Sustaining Society for all beings. We work to develop ecological literacy in teachers, facilitators, students, and anyone who cares for the Earth. We see ourselves as part of a ‘The Great Turning’ (a term referring to the shift from our current model of consumption to a Life Sustaining Society). We live in, and love, the land that is the lower catchment of the Brisbane River (known as ‘Maiwar’ to the Turrbal and Jagera people) on the east coast of Australia.
WiseEarth Education supports the right of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to self-determination. We pay our respects to Elders past and present of the Turrbal and Jagera people, on whose lands we live and work.
