Earth Imagination Day: Teaching Kids To Imagine a Positive Eco-Future, Sophie Poisel Ep54
Listen now
Description
In this episode, we chat with Sophie Poisel, an award-winning innovative teacher who hosted the first Earth Imagination Week with her students. Sophie showed us that when you give children the tools to imagine positive new ecological worlds, they come up with incredible work! Eco Minecraft worlds, green Lego lands, biophilic architectural illustrations, 3D building models - the kids made it. We delved into the power of environmental imagination and how it can spark awe-inspiring creativity and passion in young minds. And even more so, how sustainability education and environmental imagination exercise diffuses into the entire family, leading to real and tangible behavior changes in parents. Sophie is the head of the Lang Walker Academy at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney and was recently the Assistant Principal at Lindfield Learning Village. She has post-graduate studies and research in gifted education and has been awarded the Premier’s Prize and a high commendation from the Prime Minister of Australia for her work in innovation in STEM-based education.
