The families who came to our “What’s 1 Degree to Me?” workshop at Dartington in March, were passionate about climate change…. and very inventive.

We started with a discussion, an exchange of ideas and clarification of facts from our climate specialist Harry Jennings. This was followed by frenzied activity from the 3 teams: sketching storyboards, cutting out puppets, experimenting with different materials and images, then rehearsing their scenes.

The finale was performing 3 humorous, thought provoking, scenes covering different aspects of climate change, to each other and a small enthralled audience. (Video to follow when edited)

One participant, Liz Sheldon described it as “A wonderfully creative day, but with great learning opportunity, and for the seriousness of the ‘messages’ to be felt deep down/in the heart.”
