Primary History and Sustainability

Webinar Summary

Primary History has huge potential to educate children about the planetary crisis. History offers a unique understanding of people’s relationship with the natural world over time and of how we arrived at our present predicament. This session, delivered by Dr Michael Riley, will share a range of light-touch and more profound changes you can make to your history curriculum to teach for a more sustainable future.
