VALUES

Voices of Nature is a unique and special place. Singing together is so much fun! We bring children together with professional musicians, scientists, educators and conservationists. Our values are core to the way we work.

​

Inclusiveness: Every child is a contributor in cooperative music, science and arts-based learning activities.

​

Embracing Change: Voices Of Nature provides a forum for children’s’ voices to be heard as part of diverse conversations to meet the challenges of climate change and community shift to renewable energy.

​

Cultural Connectivity: Songs are a powerful way to convey messages that connect scientific knowledge with our daily lives; they touch the heart, spirit and emotions and inspire people to act.

​

Diversity: We embrace diverse cultures, histories and points of view, especially with regards to Indigenous traditional ecological knowledge as integral to learning experiences.

​

Creativity: We tie singing about the Earth together with learning experiences that support development of students’ critical thinking skills and their imaginative capacity to help create solutions for a sustainable future. Voices Of Nature works in an educational context that promotes respectful communication and sharing of ideas.

​

Connectivity: Education, ecology and singing build community connectivity and help people of all backgrounds and beliefs to collaborate and create solutions for our sustainable future.
