On Thursday, May 7th 2009, 15 Loughlin students in Brooklyn had a video-conference call via Skype with students from St. Francis Assisi Academy in Liverpool, England. The purpose of the call was to share thoughts about global warming. St. Francis is also a Lasallian school and the conversation was part of a community project they did called Climate for Change.
Continuing our collaboration with the Foundation for Art & Creative Technology (FACT) on their Climate for Change project, Eyebeam senior fellow Jeff Crouse and director of technology Emma Lloyd will be engaging hands-on workshops with Liverpool residents within FACT's Gallery 1. Climate for Change is an exhibition that promotes activism and community collaboration in the midst of environmental and financial crisis.
