This annual environmental art project invites primary school aged children from the City of Swan to research and promote positive environmental messages in our community, whilst providing creative opportunities for young artists. This year’s theme is Caring for Country.

CARING FOR COUNTRY

It is important for children to actively connect with and care for, the place in which they live, learn and play. Doing so involves respectfully exploring and understanding First Nations perspectives, in particular, the Whadjuk people of Noongar boodja. Learning about Noongar culture provides positive opportunities for children to become socially and environmentally responsible citizens.

This project aims to investigate Noongar practices of sustainability and how they may help to address some of today’s largest environmental concerns such as climate change, bushfires and drought. By building awareness of sustainable land management students can learn how to play their own role in positively Caring for Country.
