Abstract
Perceiving learning with/in/as/for community enriches socio-ecological learning and encourages powerful interactions between human and non-human nature. The value and significance of community and collaboration is widely acknowledged, both within and beyond formal education, however perceptions of community have traditionally been human-centric. Furthermore, research and practice frequently indicates that community connections require greater consideration and effort in order to be effectively realised. In response, this chapter positions community as an authentic and essential foundation for socioecological learning, situating learning within the interconnected elements of social and ecological worlds. The authors grapple with the concept of community and situate community with/in/as/for socioecological learning. Their four diverse examples of community connection are shared through research stories, thereby expanding perceptions of community beyond teachers and students using their local social and ecological community as a resource for learning. This exploration illuminates the potential of community to enrich socioecological learning experiences. In essence, this chapter is a storied exploration of community with, from and about places, spaces, students, parents, teachers, researchers, community members and non-human nature.
