The newly formed UCD Library Green Group wanted to foster cross campus collaboration as they believed this would assist in realising their green goals. They saw the Learning Enhancement Project as a direct route to the student cohort who, motivated by their passion for the planet, would be willing to help the Library with this task.
Initiative
Soil Story: Building Relationships with nature
About this initiative
This proposed innovative project aims to work with Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) educators, DCU lecturers and BECE 3rd Year students to encourage young children become ‘change makers’ and ‘citizen scientists’ in their own local communities. Through theatre performance with children and CPD sessions with adults we aim to build children’s relationship with nature and all the living organisms that inhabit the soil ecosystem.
