Cape Farewell Youth Expedition 2007

Hello everyone, hope you are all well.

I’m having a great time, but we are certainly being kept busy. We have had talks from a scientist, Mark Maslin who spoke about how we can tackle climate change. We also have had a series of workshop, the art and media being my favourite. It was a brilliant experience filming as well as being filmed and art workshop inspired me to do a series of art pieces. We also had a interview with T4 and we all had to act really funky.

Bye for now
Liam

Hi everyone,
The official launch of the cape farewell youth project was on Sunday, it was amazing, we were flying up and down the river Thames in little inflatable boats, there was a lot of shouting and waving! My video will be on the blogs on Monday 17th September at 10am and you can all talk to me 30 mins later on the blog so get blogging!

Hello ppl,

Right now I’m in London and so far I’ve had tons of interviews and I’ve met so many ppl.  Everyone are kool and interesting.  On sunday we had the cape farewell launch in London and we went for a really fun boat ride.  We waved to our fans.  We went all way to the London Bridge and back to the parliament.  We got of beside the London Eye, where I soon plan to embark.  Anyhow I am enjoying everything and learning lots.  Keep blogging for more info.

 Peace, amelie tremblay-martin

Hallo, ich bin es Ina! Auch wenn ich bis jetzt noch nicht in der Arktis war, waren die letzten Tage, hier in London, unglaublich!
Am Sonntag war eine grosse Feier im Southbank Centre, wo wir uns als Teilnehmer der Cape Farewell Youth Expedition 2007, vorgestellt haben. Danach sind wir hinunter an die Themse gegangen, wo wir in Schlauchboote gestiegen sind, mit denen wir vom House of Parlament zur Towerbridge gefahren sind und wieder zurueck. Es war ein unglaubliches Erlebnis. Am Montag haben wir einen Workshop gemacht, wo wir unter anderem unser erstes Video aufgenommen haben und mit einen Englischen Fernsehsender Interviews gefuehrt haben. Ich hoffe es geht genau so spannend weiter wie bisher und wuerde mich sehr freuen, wenn ihr mir bis zum Donnerstag den 13. September alle eure Fragen in meinen Blog schreibt, die ich dann am Freitag den 14. September um 11:00 Uhr ueber live blogging beantworten kann.

Liebe Gruesse
Ina
