Exploring the things of home in early childhood education

In this webinar, Dr Sonya Gaches from the University of Otago explores how objects associated with home serve as holders of narratives that create a sense of belonging for children and connect them to their histories, their people, and their stories.

She also discusses how this relates to listening deeply to tamariki and their many related rights.
