Generation Waking Up with Mill Park Secondary College, Lorna Brooks and students
An introduction to a student led workshop whose aim is to “ignite a generation to create a thriving, just and sustainable world”. The workshop uses dynamic DVD material and interactive group exercises to look at 4 key questions. Who are we? Where are we? What has to change? What can we do now?
The aim of GC2U is to deliver interactive online and live event enrichment programs for both primary and secondary schools, both across Australia/New Zealand and internationally, that complement the national curriculum annual focus – at a fraction of the cost of excursions or incursions. Programs are specifically designed to increase young people’s awareness of pathways for creating sustainable and equitable outcomes and an appreciation for the cultural and ecological richness and diversity of our wonderful world.
