Abstract
In 2019-2020, Australia experienced catastrophic bushfires, which destroyed wildlife, bushland, homes, and lives. This project was developed in response to the impact of these bushfires and as a way for young children, aged 0-5 years, to make sense of the devastation they had experienced personally or via the media. There has been no prior research about young children’s learning, curriculum, or pedagogies for bushfire recovery. This project engaged children in emergent, collaborative, co-constructed, and creative learning experiences.
