Empowering kids with tools to creatively communicate and campaign their ideas in the community. They will make creations to wear and display with purpose and pride.

Participants will engage collage, drawing and stencilling techniques to make colourful badges, T-shirts, bumper stickers, posters and placards. In the development process, kids will learn how to artfully communicate environmental issues that are important to them such as recycling, clean waterways, deforestation, clean energy and sustainability. Outcomes will be displayed in the community, giving voice to the participants, nurturing self-confidence and resilience.

Many children and young people today feel worried about our environment and climate crisis, both locally and globally. This workshop series facilitated by Jo Mott with a support artist will empower kids with tools to creatively communicate and campaign their ideas in the community. They will make creations to wear and display with purpose and pride.

Participants will be shown how to plan, prepare and execute their ideas. Creating messages that have local relevance to children in the Macedon Ranges.
