CHILDREN'S ENTERTAINMENT FOR EDUCATION

Considering the two main ideas we raised on Monday were targeted to an adult market, the working class… those who receive bills and have responsibilities… I felt that perhaps we can branch from the Greenhouse idea, however target the age group of ages 6 -12… thus we would concentrate on PRIMARY SCHOOL CHILDREN

NUMBER 1: Im going to be brutally honest with you guys, before I viewed CRUDE OIL on You Tube, I was totally unaware of the damages I was producing for future generations… yes I definitely wasted alot… If that Carbon Emitter Measure Leah posted was REAL.. I’d probably have had incurred a lot of debt!... But that’s because of the lack of knowledge I had in regarding the issue not naivity… don’t get me wrong… I went to a good College… however I think the problem was that my College was focused on reputation, on sports, on theatre… how ADMIRABLE the school looked in comparison to others… but didn’t emphasise the effects of climate change, recycling, burning of fossil fuels etc would have effect on the world… so it does really come down to education…
I remember in primary school “ Don’t be a WALLY WASTER” or “STOP, DROP and RoLL” in case of a fire… that sticks with me now as a 20 year old not to waste water!
So this following idea was inspired by the by the “Communtity Greenhouse Idea”along with… do you remember “the Life Education Van” In primary school..?
Children get excited by entertainment, showbags, perfomance, song, dance… I used to be a Children’s entertainer.. so that’s how this idea came about
Ok here it is…


KIDS PLAY/ ENTERTAINMENT

Target Audience: Primary School Children

Intention: Primary School Children from grade 3- 6 will be invited to a performance education / learning session

Where: At the “Greenhouse” location (branching into another idea) OR at the Primary School Gym / Assembly area

Entertainment: Characters in the play sing about recycling, planting own vegetables, saving carbon emissions etc.
I read an article in the Age quite some time ago, about songs “getting stuck” in people’s heads… the Play will be educational so Kids can take the information away with Rhyming Playful Quotes

Showbags: If the play were performed in the educational sector of the “green house”… they can take home packets of seeds, magnets, even a small plant to show there Mum and Dad..

I think being aware of issues such as this should be emphasised at an early age

Let me know what you think… If you detest the idea… let me know… promise I wont take offence! See you guys soon!
