Children's Perceptions of Nature: Are They Represented in The Agenda of Education for Sustainable Development?
Celia Tidmarsh
In this paper the author revisits the aims of her Masters dissertation in which she examined the ways children interpret and engage with nature and considered how closely the adult and the child constructions fit with each other, particularly in relation to programmes of environmental education. Here she returns to her findings to consider whether or not the heightened sense of environmental awareness in the public domain of today connects with children's perceptions of nature that emerged from her research.

The contribution of school linking projects to global education: Some geographical perspectives
Anna Disney
This paper draws on the author's research into the contribution of school linking projects to the development of global education in the primary school curriculum. It draws on data from a variety of research contexts to reflect on and consider the role of geography in the development and effectiveness of school linking experiences. It argues that geography as a subject can bridge the gap between 'cultural exchange' and 'global citizenship' approaches and argues that geography can be usefully developed as the key organising principle underpinning school linking projects.
