Bicultural and place-based inquiry with children

How can inquiry pedagogies empower young children to become active investigators of the world around them? In this webinar, Dr Sarah Probine from Auckland University of Technology will share insights from a collaborative project undertaken with kaiako, children, and whānau in six early childhood settings. The project explored how bicultural and place-based approaches can deepen children’s connections to their local environments and strengthen shared knowledge-building across communities.

Join Sarah as she discusses:

• The benefits of children’s inquiry for learning, development, and identity
• Bicultural and place-based approaches that honour local stories, people, and environments
• Practical strategies for aligning inquiry approaches with curriculum principles
• Key conditions that support effective inquiry-focused pedagogy and meaningful practice

This webinar will help you strengthen your understanding of inquiry pedagogies and begin to explore bicultural and place-based inquiry in your own setting.
