INFORMATION FOR TEACHERS

What We Provide

Volunteer facilitators are available to provide a one-hour presentation to your class or to multiple classes (grades 7-12, any subject). We bring a slideshow of inspiring ideas from around the world about combating climate change and, if given time,  facilitate writing or sketching exercises .  We'll also walk your class through the festival guidelines. 


We visit schools only in September and early October so book soon!


(Note: Jerri will try to give a solarpunk writing workshop any time of year, if available. Zoom is possible for groups far away.)

What You Can Do

You can do as much or as little as is possible for your class. Some teachers select a solarpunk story (see top menu.) to study as a class in advance of the workshop, others show some videos of an interesting technology. If neither is possible, don't worry, we'll cover what's needed in the classroom presentation. If you have more than an hour, we'll do some solarpunk writing or sketching. (See PREVIOUS FESTIVALS for winning art and stories as examples.)
