ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses how creative geography teaching can help children understand and engage with sustainability issues and be genuinely involved in designing outcomes with future well-being in mind. Young children have a good deal of curiosity about the world that they live in but they also worry about the future of the planet. When they are given opportunities to participate in relevant creative and critical problem-solving enquiries, their learning can become powerful. Such teaching helps children to be better informed and thus more able to tackle issues such as climate change, unequal development and loss of biodiversity, which may otherwise seem daunting. It also provides an agenda of hope.
