Would your child like to help co-create a short environmental video for schoolchildren around the world?
We are inviting children between 11 and 14 years from around the world to take part in a fun, but important project by helping us create a short, environmentally-focused video. The video will form the key piece of a suite of educational materials designed to introduce young people to the concept of a new law to protect nature.
Ecocide law is the focus of a rapidly growing global movement which aims to create an international safeguard for the natural world by creating personal criminal liability for the key decision makers behind the very worst acts of environmental damage, both in peacetime and in war. It is designed to discourage those key individuals from authorising the type of projects or actions that will cause such damage, protecting the environment for our and future generations.
We have written a short film script which is designed to explain the concept of ecocide law in terms that children who will not yet be familiar with environmental or legal issues will understand.
The plan is to animate the film using artwork created by children and voice recordings from children around the world, and to make the film and accompanying learning materials available to teachers globally.
