Abstract
Creative arts have long been used for making meaning and conveying knowledge. Music, dance, painting, and storytelling are art forms that have the power to connect us to each other. This research investigates using the arts to connect us to the planet as well. I refer to this relationship as Econnection. Originally published as "Creative Arts-based Pedagogies in Early Childhood Education for Sustainability (EfS): Challenges and Possibilities" (Ward, 2013) the central research question was: In what ways can self-generated creative arts experiences assist early childhood educators to support young children to learn about the environment?
