Conferences & Speaking Events
Bringing environmental learning to life through curiosity, creativity and connection:
Every person has a story of connection with nature. A moment of curiosity, a place that shaped them, or an experience that changed the way they see the world.
Through keynote presentations, conference talks and science communication events, Sian shares stories that explore our relationship with the natural world, the power of curiosity, and how storytelling can help create deeper connections with science and the environment. Drawing from her own journey, the creation of The Seed Pod, and experiences across environmental education and community engagement, Sian invites audiences to reflect on how we nurture curiosity, inspire care and create opportunities for connection.

“From curiosity to care: Regenerating nature connection through science communication”
Sian’s award-winning presentation explored how curiosity and wonder can be powerful foundations for science communication.
Through the story of The Seed Pod, she shared reflections on nurturing connection with the natural world and creating opportunities for people to move from observing, to learning, to caring and taking action.
“Sian, you had the room in your hand. So well done, taking us on a journey through your own life to show us the impact of connection to our natural world. I won't forget your talk.” - Michelle
“SCANZ Excellence in Science Communication Award winner Sian Crowley showed us exactly why she deserved the win by connecting us with her personal yet universal journey of wonder and science in observing the small glories of nature as a tiny human. It was a challenge to connect with our curiosity and make childlike wonder a goal for adults.” - Shared Science
