THE 2021 FESTIVAL OF SOCIAL SCIENCE
RUNNING 1-30 NOVEMBER 2021
RUNNING 1-30 NOVEMBER 2021
In the workshop, we will explore what these ‘objects’ might teach us so that humans, other animals and plants can thrive together.
We have capacity for thirty young people to participate in the discussion, but others may come along (without booking) and observe all or part of the discussion.
Come and join a group inquiry to discuss the questions that an exhibition of objects raise for how we might live sustainably across the globe.
The exhibited objects have been chosen and exchanged by children and young people in India (West Bengal), Ecuador (lowland Chocó) and UK (Brighton). We will also be showing a short film about why these objects say something to them about their environment.
This event is led by researcher at the University of Sussex, Fliss Bull, Perpetua Kirby and Rebecca Webb in conjunction with the Jubilee library, Brighton. They work with children and young people on environmental sustainability issues in early years, schools, higher education, and informal education settings’ with this: https://www.transformineducation.org/
