CHILDREN<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The children of today are tomorrow\u2019s adults. It is therefore important to educate them about ecology, environmental preservation as well as the opportunities of the green and social economy from an early age onwards so they will consider protecting our planet\u2019s resources as part of their lifestyle choices. Pamela Peeters has worked with toddlers, children, adolescents and young adults. Her own signature \u201cEco Hero\u201d brand serves as edutainment for children and introduces them to ethical and engaged citizenship.

ART<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Art is a powerful medium to explore and communicate (about) topics that are important to society. It is therefore an excellent tool that can be used for educational purposes. Pamela Peeters uses different artistic media such as photography, film, mixed media, paintings, clay and collage to explore the inroads to a sustainable planet all while sharing the generosity that our Earth Mother never ceases to bestow on humanity. Through workshop, participants can explore their relationship with their planet as well.<\/p>\n
