Creating Environmental Awareness in Children through Theatre
We have been raising awareness about the critical function of the Environment amongst children through theatre.
We adapted the texts of The Giving Tree by Shel SIlverstein to current context where the phenomenal activism by Great Thunberg has changed the way in which children and youth are now participating in the Climate Change movement, and in articulating the dystopian future which stares us on our face, we were able to reach out to more than 100 children in 2019, including children of Indian Army personnel at Fort Wiliam, Kolkata, India.
