Cape Farewell Youth Expedition 2007

Just as important as the work of the 12 students going to the Arctic is the work that happens in their schools, before, during and after the voyage. Each of the schools organised an initial group of 20 which took part in a media and movement workshop given by Colin and Suba. They had fun creating movement pieces in small groups on the theme of climate change. Working in pairs, as camera / presenter teams, they also made mini films about climate change.

From this group of 20, five were selected to form a ground crew from which the final voyage participant was drawn. Each member of the ground crew will help to keep interest high in climate change issues within their school and community during and after the voyage.
