<em>British Educational Research Journal</em> | BERA Journal | Wiley Online Library Climate change presents urgent global challenges that demand swift and transformative responses. However, current efforts often fall short, revealing a crisis not only of environmental concern but al...

From water puppetry performances to digital storybooks, this project shows how youth-led, arts-based methods can empower communities and influence policy.

Drawing on our participatory action research with youth in Northern Vietnam, we explore how creative storytelling, indigenous knowledge, and emotional engagement can bridge the gap between climate knowledge and meaningful action. 2/3

Thrilled to share our latest paper published in BERA journal.

From science to storytelling: Advancing a Climate Knowledge-Action Frame

In this paper we challenge the dominant "knowledge deficit" model in climate education & propose a more inclusive, action-oriented approach 1/3

🚨 New survey with partners Love Windermere as part of my British Academy funded project 🚨

We want to understand how people are engaging with freshwater spaces across the UK. The good, the bad or even the ugly.

Yes definitely. Hope all is well xx

Thank you lovely 😘 hope all is well with you xx

Looking forward to working with my dream team of @joshwolstenholme.bsky.social Rachel Obrike and some other guy called @bedforms.bsky.social to make a difference to children lives in a changing climate ✨️

For a more diverse workforce we need 2 start exposure in early years providing a passport of opportunities. The beauty is its dual purpose by not only fostering a deeper understanding of the environment but promoting proenvironmental behaviors. Essential in building a sustainable & resilient society

Over the moon to finally announce our NERC: Natural Environment Research Council funded project Charnwood Champions 🥳

This project has been a dream of mine for many years after witnessing the inconsistancy and inequality of opportunities for children to access the natural environment

Happy Monday! 🥳
Thrilled to share our new paper in Children’s Geographies:
“Place-based & intergenerational storytelling for youth climate action: Moving beyond participation and towards momentum” 🌍📚

Did you visit Windermere as a child? Maybe you grew up by the lake or holidayed there?

In partnership with Love Windermere we're collecting childhood memories of Windermere for my @britishacademy.bsky.social

Noticed I say thrilled a lot on my posts... so as a Mancunian I'm going to change the narrative to be 'proper chuffed' to be out the house & spending 30 mins outside listening to nature & feeling the cool air on my face before going in to a super duper work event 😎 #MoreSoon #FloodandCoast

Thrilled to be sharing this one 🥳

If you’re interested in intergenerational and creative methodologies for climate action, then give it a read 😊

Check out our new preprint at @egu.eu on how disadvantaged communities on the climate frontline can be empowered through creative engagement.

#FindYourTribe #YesPerson

Im very much a yes person & I know that negativity can get me down. But to counter this I just needed to find my positivity tribe.
It's easy to get caught up in the negative energy of those that surround us & this can be draining. Finding your tribe really matters

Last weekend I spent International Women's Day with the Dip n Dales Co. as they led one of their retreats.

One of my key takeaways from the weekend was that they have created a safe space for yes people to live out their dreams.
