It’s great to be in-person with old and new @IAWF friends. @CQUGradResearch
Replying to @Jarrett2Tony
@Jarrett2Tony @cqu spoke on engaging with children to bring on tomorrow's solutions: "Children and youth have a right to be heard, yet policies and programs don't really reflect that. We need to consider their role in providing solutions to our problems." #FireClimate2022

Hats off to NSW RFS for fantastic #ACEFA2022. It was great to be back amongst old friends at the Schools Ed stand, and with many turning out for the Masterclass presentation with Barbara Ryan. Read more about that session here: dreschool.wordpress.com/

Great work by ACYP to include co-design by children and young people
Today ACYP launches the NSW Strategic Plan for Children and Young People 2022-2024. This Plan acknowledges the work that the NSW Government has committed to for the benefit of children and young people. bit.ly/3Ny5UFL

There has been a few bumps in the road, however my PhD research through CQU on the bush fire unit of study in Years 5 and 6 still goes on! You can read an update here: dreschool.wordpress.com/

The National DRANZSEN Forum brings together representatives from education and emergency services, NGOs, universities, local government and community groups to explore disaster resilience education. Join us online on 1 September for the 2021 forum: aidr.org.au/events/31045?loc…
Fantastic video Briony telling an important story about the capacities and capabilities of children with bush fire education. A strong reminder for agency folk (and expert partners) to support the learning activities

Interesting and valuable project. There were many connections between NSW RFS and visitors/tourists over the 2019/20 season, particularly through Community Field Liaison Officers lnkd.in/gxG9R2J
