Speaking 4 the Planet
is an Arts-based approach to Youth advocacy for a Sustainable world
Using the Sustainable Development Goals as their focus, S4P competitions invite students to step up and speak out about the world and our common future. S4P has been adapted for primary schools, high schools and universities.
S4P promotes the importance of having an informed voice through:
WRITING
SPEECH
PERFORMANCE
ART
IMAGES
VIDEO
S4P values evidence-based presentations and ideas that invite quirky solutions to what might appear to be intractable environmental and sustainability problems.
S4P helps students see that they are not alone in their concern for the planet and for their future. S4P events build networks of schools and young people whose passion is to create a world worth living in.
