Abstract
Current debates about children’s climate change education are often challenged by science-biased cultures of education and western-focused ideas of children in society. Drawing on experiences from South Africa, the article argues for listening to children’s voices that are difficult to hear through place-based and open-ended education, hereby calling for a reconfiguration of educational cultures in ways that cultivate and affirm children’s political agency.
