USING A YARNING CIRCLE Activities to enrich students wellbeing

A well set-up yarning circle can provide a safe and welcoming atmosphere and can be utilised as a safe space to talk, share, discuss and have a yarn together; a place to build respectful relationships and enrich not just students' learning experiences but their overall sense of wellbeing in a natural setting. Watch Junior Landcare ambassador Costa in conversation with First Nations educator and Wiradjuri man, Adam Shipp, and school teacher Ms Clare about the many ways yarning circles can support students’ social, emotional and mental wellbeing.

What is Junior Landcare?

Junior Landcare provides children the opportunity to play an active role in ensuring the safe future of their environment.
Launched in May 1998, Junior Landcare recognises the vital role young Australians play in caring for the land, their environment and other natural resources. Junior Landcare connects young Australians with Landcare, one of the country’s largest volunteer movements. There are thousands of people and countless communities working together towards sustainable land use and undertaking on-ground action to protect, enhance or restore an area on behalf of the community.
