Climate for Change Youth Exchange

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. The call was set up by Emma Lloyd of Eyebeam. The students of St. Francis told us a bit about their school which was designed and built to be eco-friendly. One of the main features that astonished the Loughlin students was the collection of rain water to flush toilets. The conversation went with each school talking about things they do for the environment and what they thought about global warming, and how they commute to school.

Climate for Change - Is the world ready for change

Continuing our collaboration with the Foundation for Art & Creative Technology (FACT) on their Climate for Change project a transatlantic debate will take place. The theme, "Is the world ready for change". Divided by the Atlantic, Liverpool and New York each share a unique cultural heritage but in our global economy each face similar challenges. Bringing these two cities together virtually, young people will host a debate to discuss whether the world is ready for change. The event will be recorded but if you are in Liverpool stop by FACT's gallery 1 to see it live. Eyebeam wishes to thank Emilia Wiles Director, Student Success Centerhttp://sscbushwick.vox.com for her help in organizing the new york participation.
