Hi everybody,
I’m really hoping to network with a lot of people around Ireland to promote Eco-Education here in Ireland..Education For Sustainability of Transition Town Kinsale really want to bring these
guys to Ireland after hearing Klaus (our colleague on the Transition Town
Kinsale Steering Commitee) rave about them after he saw them at Transition
Conference in London UK.I’ve seen Klaus use some of their techniques
already at our recent Transition Gathering with great success and hilarity. So
now I’m in contact with them via skype and email to see if we can organise them
coming over here to work with Transition and other environmental groups in Ireland.
Read below for further details on their wonderful work.
Moving Sounds are an imaginative group who work with Transition
communities all over the UK doing workshops on causes and consequences
of climate change and the broader ecological issues in a fun,positive,
entertaining and often hilarious way.So wouldn't it be great if we availed of them over here too?
An example of one of their workshops would be a musical story-telling
workshop about 'How to Make the Best World Imaginable'. They have a new
show aimed at teenagers consisting of video footage,live
performance,rap,electronic and live music and some clowning. This work
has been inspired by Joanna Macy Eco-Philosopher.
