This webinar explores how the cultures, histories and lived experiences within a community shape inquiry and shared authorship. Drawing on the Floorbook® Approach, we will consider how educators can listen to, honour and make visible the diverse perspectives children and families bring. The session invites participants to reflect on how community stories and cultural knowledge can deepen inquiry, strengthen belonging and foster more authentic collaboration across the learning community.  

What you will gain from this session:

• A deeper appreciation for how cultural and community knowledge shapes learning
• Strategies to make community perspectives visible in collaborative documentation
• Practical examples of how Floorbooks can reflect the living stories of place
