This requires critical pedagogy.

The #dandelion is one of nature’s quiet teachers: resilient, generous and deeply connected to the land.
On St. Brigid’s Day, we take a moment to highlight this Imbolc symbol, and Brigid’s legacy as a carer of the Earth.
#StBrigidsDay #Imbolc #CareForTheEarth #DandelionPower #ClimateAction
At #Imbolc, the land begins to stir, and the first #dandelions remind us that spring is coming.
On St. Brigid’s Day, we celebrate renewal, hope and our deep connection with the natural world.
