Resumen de la conferencia:

In this presentation we focus on children and young people’s forest literacies. We draw on a three-year project which explored with global multilingual children and young people the experience of trees across nations and within locations in urban contexts in the UK. We draw on indigenous perspectives to explore ways in which transnational youth co-create with trees the literacies of the forest (Nxumalo 2016). In our project, which was co-created with a multi-disciplinary team of researchers funded through the ‘Voices of the Future’ project [NE/V021370/1] we explored how children and young people created their own forest literacies using relational and dialogic modes of inquiry. The children interviewed trees, they explored them with their hands and feet and integrated this knowledge producing a ‘common world’ (Taylor and Pacini-Ketchabaw 2018). We worked co- productively with children and young people as researchers in the sites and spaces of the project (Spyrou 2023). The project involving tree planting, tree measuring and exploring what trees meant to young people. The team and explored the conceptual framing of a child-led typology of urban treescapes from the point of view of children and young people. We argue for an expanded view of forest literacies that includes the trees, the children and the world (Ambreen and Pahl 2023).
