[PeDAGoG] Reading list around regenerative futures for Young Adults?

Tue Sep 15 09:54:32 CEST 2020

Kia ora Pallavi

your 13 year old is right about Gerald Durrell (and other good 
'documentary' nature writers). Richard Mabey, Robert MacFarlane and  
Helen Macdonald are three of my current favourites.

It is also good to hear about the indigenous education initiatives in 
the Phillippines.

I have just read /T//e Mahi Oneone Hua Parakore: A Māori Soil 
Sovereignty and Wellbeing Handbook/ 
(https://shop.projectfreerange.com/item/pre-order-te-mahi-oneone-hua-parakore-a-mori-soil-sovereignty-and-wellbeing-handbook) 
which has a chapter on a Maori school with organic food gardens and a 
native plants nursery.

And here is the link to a short (9 minute) film, just released, on a 
Maori elder's relationship to his whenua (land) and all its beings, 
which I think people of any age can appreciate. In Maori with English 
subtitles.

Enjoy!
