Episode 9: Authentic Sustainability in Early Childhood Education with Bronwyn Cron

In this episode of For Your Ears, From the Early Years, host Lili-Ann Kriegler chats with sustainability expert Bronwyn Cron about embedding authentic sustainability into early childhood education. With over 30 years of experience, Bronwyn shares her journey and offers practical, real-world insights on how educators can integrate sustainability into their everyday teaching practices without feeling overwhelmed.

From creating place-based learning experiences to incorporating First Nations cultural perspectives, Bronwyn emphasises the importance of starting small, building on what you’re already doing, and fostering a deeper connection between children and the natural world. Together, we explore how authentic sustainability is not an extra task but a meaningful way to engage children and their communities in preserving the planet for future generations.

Tune in to discover how you can create a lasting impact through sustainable, authentic learning!

Season One: Episode 7 - Thriving Together: The Essential Role of Male Educators in Early Childhood

In this inspiring episode of For Your Ears from the Early Years, Lili-Ann Kriegler interviews Ramesh Shrestha, a passionate advocate for male educators in the early childhood sector. Ramesh shares how a simple idea to host a virtual conference for male educators grew into a national event with over 170 registrations across Australia. Discover the challenges male educators face, the importance of community support, and the innovative ways this conference aims to break down barriers and provide valuable professional development.

Beyond the conference, Ramesh opens up about his journey, from securing a prestigious scholarship as an international student to his long-held dream of starting a school in Nepal. He discusses the deep-rooted gender stereotypes that male educators encounter and how these experiences have shaped his mission to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for men in the field of early childhood education.

With a stellar lineup of speakers, including experienced educators, consultants, and lecturers, this episode offers a unique glimpse into the power of grassroots movements, the importance of inclusivity in education, and one man's vision to make a lasting impact in Australia and his home country. Join us as we delve into the vision behind the conference, the scholarship that changed his life, and his dreams of transforming education in Nepal.
