Interview With:
Richard Dunne
Founder - The Harmony Project
Richard is a thought leader in education and sustainability, expert in curriculum development, and founder of The Harmony Project.
He has developed a school curriculum based on principles of Harmony that enable systems in Nature to be resilient, healthy and in balance. These principles guide and inform the way a ‘Harmony curriculum’ is structured, providing a coherent and meaningful framework for National Curriculum learning objectives to be delivered.

In this interview I’m joined by Richard Dunne to explore how evolving children’s education could not only offer them better engagement with their learning but also help them make better sense of the world that they’re a part of.
Show Notes:
Many of the solutions that we discuss on this show require a bit of unlearning or shifting of the mindset from what we’re used to. So I became really interested in the work of the Harmony Project from the basis of integrating a whole system way of seeing things into children’s education from a very early age.
Perhaps our children could soon be showing us the way forward!
As headteacher in a state primary school and inspired by the book titled ‘Harmony’ by the now King Charles third, Richard began developing and implementing a more Natural curriculum within the National Curriculum.
He’s since founded the Harmony Project and is integrating this approach into a variety of school settings in the UK and across the globe.
I’m delighted to have been able to discuss with him the principles of harmony and the inspirations and challenges of this ambitious project.
I hope you enjoy listening to this episode and if you’d like to learn more about the Harmony Project then you can find their website HERE.Â

I take a very holistic view of the world and find enormous hope when we expand our thinking outwards and consider our issues as interconnected.
So it’s a huge delight for me to have the opportunity to speak with so many varied personalities here.
I hope you’ll enjoy learning along with me as my guests allow me to pick their brains on the diverse topics explored by this project!
