Titiro whakamuri, hoki whakamua. We are the future, the present and the past: Caring for self, others and the environment in early years’ teaching and learning

Abstract

This project focuses on global issues of ecological sustainability in a variety of national/local early childhood contexts. The research aims to illuminate, document, explore, and explain possibilities for early childhood pedagogies that reflect and enact an ethic of care for self, others, and the environment. The project draws from both kaupapa Maori and western perspectives.
