There is
NO Planet B
July to September 2008
This
collaborative project with Nudgee Junior College,
Brisbane, provides an opportunity to develop the
boys' resilience and raise awareness of environmental
impact and solutions through
music education and performance.
Four Grade
6 classes
are working with Hugh to write, compose, perform and
record four songs about solutions for protecting Mother
Earth. The students began their preparation by working
with teachers to
create themes they feel are important and want to
emphasise to others.
The project reflects the aims of
the Brisbane City Council CitySmart project - a plan to
make Brisbane Australia's most sustainable city and
carbon neutral by 2026.
Green
Cross Australia worked with the boys in the weeks
leading up to the music project to help them understand
climate change issues and the Green Cross activities
developed to reduce impact and provide practical
solutions. |
