This is the culmination of a project which forms part of a new initiative between Artlink Central and Stirling Council Children’s Services ‘Arts and Transition Programme’. This involved selected primary 7 pupils who, it was felt, would benefit from additional support in their transition from primary to high school, visiting their future high schools for participation in this project.
The project has focused on the theme of the promotion of the reduction of carbon emissions by 10% in 2010. This subject matter is relevant to the curriculum and allowed a scientific and fascinating and topical subject to approached in a fun and imaginative way that appealed to and engaged the children. During the project the children looked at the environmental issues surrounding carbon emissions and the way we can all help reduce them, with valuable additional advice and information provided by Going Carbon Neutral Stirling.
