Declare to Care with Cate McQuillen and Morag Gamble

Welcome to Episode 30 of Sense-Making in the Changing World (watch here on youtube) with  Cate McQuillen - the creative powerhouse behind EMMY Award winning Dirt Girl World, Get Grubby TV that are screened on ABC TV and other amazing children's programming. I see it as brilliant permaculture education - offered in the most FUN way for kids (and their families) everywhere. For over a decade Cate has been breathing life and heart into this wondrous world for children to inhabit and explore with profound impacts personally and culturally - for the kids, for the families and communities.

From her home in the Northern Rivers area of NSW, Australia - Cate's Dirt Girl World has reached 126 countries and millions of people each week. Her team include partner, Hewey Eustace - writer of all the amazing Dirt Girl World songs, Dirt Girl herself, Scrap Boy and of course, Costa the Garden Gnome  - otherwise known as the Logie-winning ABC Gardening Australia host.

Rippling out from Dirt Girl, Cate has created early childhood curriculum,  dirt girl maths, supported community programs in indigenous communities and the reef.

Cate is a change maker who wears her heart and her values on her sleeve, and has created a whole new world with her visual storytelling. Even with the recognition that the task of creating a climate-safe world that likes ahead of us is profoundly huge, Cate maintains and accessible, inviting and hugely engaging way to create the conditions where lasting behaviour change can happen.

This week she is launching her new campaign throughout 2021 Declare to Care  - listen in to hear all about this and how to get involved and make your own Declaration.

Cate is an extraordinary creative force for positive change and encourages us all to have the courage to step up too.
