"We connect children to the environment using art

& exhibit their work in our World Gallery to highlight what we all stand to lose."

John Dyer FRGS

Artist in residence for EdenProject.com, Fellow fo the Royal Geographical Society & official 'Artist for the Earth' with EarthDay.org

“Let's invest in our children's futures by connecting them positively and personally to the environment, tribal culture and climate change. They will then have personal reasons to take positive personal action. If every child treads as gently as they can on our planet, and teaches their parents, then we will all have a brighter future.”

JOHN DYER, FRGS.

Founder of Last Chance to Paint. John's art hangs in the UK national collection. He is the artist in residence for the Eden Project, an official artist for the Earth with EarthDay.org and a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.

YOUR CHILDREN CAN 'TRAVEL' WITH US

By creating a piece of their own art they will really connect to the natural world

Earth & Us. Find out more.

'TRAVEL'

Children and Schools are invited to ‘travel’ with the Eden Project’s artist in residence, John Dyer and musician Martha-Lilly Dyer. We are exploring endangered plants, peoples, places and animals using visual art and music to connect children to these subjects in memorable ways so they become aware of what we stand to lose.

QUESTION

Using the internet and satellite links your children can ask questions before, during and after the expeditions.

CREATE

Art is a universal language that can connect people and creates a reflective space for questioning and learning. We want children to not only ‘travel’ with us but to create their own piece of art inspired by our journeys to be exhibited in the WorldGallery.online alongside John Dyer’s art and art created by indigenous children from around the world.

Small changes by individuals can make a BIG difference to our planet.
How can your children make a positive difference today?

Eat less Fish

If we ate less fish (wild & farmed) the world's oceans could start to recover. The large part of the plastic pollution in the ocean is from the fishing industry. Fishing nets kill marine life such as dolphins, whales, turtles and sharks and fish are also wild animals that need to be protected.

Eat less Meat

Move to a more plant based diet as the meat industry creates vast amounts of greenhouse gases and causes rainforest deforestation. We could reduce our climate change impact by around 18% by removing meat, which is far bigger than removing flights.

Eat more Plants

Eat locally produced and in season fruits & vegetables. Swap meat for plant based 'meat' & 'dairy' products. Read the ingredients on products like cakes and biscuits and try to avoid products with palm oil in as that fuels rainforest and wildlife devastation and conflict.

Buy Carefully

Buy good quality products that last, avoid fast fashion, shop in charity shops. When a family car is purchased try and avoid heavy inefficient SUV vehicles and buy electric if possible. Start to save and invest rather than buying things you might not need.
