Where is the GIANT banner of drawings now??
- LOOK: overview of the contest LISTEN: podcast interview about how I teach kids about the climate crisis.
- MAKING THE GIANT BANNER:
- We created a mosaic of the drawings
- We printed it in 5 sections TWICE at UniPrint thanks to major sponsor Dattner Group! My husband sewed the panels together to create two 7m high, 4 m wide banners – it took him 10 hours each time. Watch how it was made !
- WHERE HAS THE BANNER BEEN?
- The banner had its world premiere at Beaumaris Primary School in Perth, Australia. It then visited Mullaloo Beach Primary School, Eurekamp Oz school holiday camp at the University of Western Australia and St Mary’s Anglican Girls School – all in Perth.
- The banner was then filmed in Queensland, Australia at Davies National Park, all over Magnetic Island (including Magnetic Island State School), 3 schools in Cairns (Whitfield State School, Redlynch State College, Trinity Anglican School), 40 metres above the Daintree Rainforest via a giant crane thanks to James Cook University, and in a mangrove forest at Kewarra Beach.
- WHERE IS THE BANNER NOW?
- Now it is in Glasgow, UK for the United Nations COP26 climate meeting. It was presented at an event Tues 9 Nov along with a video about its travels!! WATCH THE VIDEO. The banner will be on display in the ‘Green Zone’ at COP26 for the rest of the week.
