Eco-Erme Primary School!
________________________________________________________
Pupils from the Erme Primary have been studying Rivers this term. During their art week in June, Years 3-6 participated in art eco activities, the aim was to get to know local Longtimber Woods in a new way. We used different senses to find new ways of hearing, seeing and knowing the River Erme and the local environment.
The Erme School pupils and teachers are working towards achieving eco-status, participating and leading on sustainability education.
RIVER ERME VALLEY INITIATIVE
A PERIPATETIC INVESTIGATION OF PLACE
mouth to source
This is an artist led initiative to create opportunities for re-engagement with our local environment. Arts as catalyst in stimulating participation.
Using multi-sensory learning and social ecologies the purpose is to to find new ways of re-connecting with our local area, I believe, necessary for future social and environmental change.
A "Civil Artist" in every community?
The initial Community of Ivybridge Project gives the history that has led me to extend this initiative to the length of the River Valley, broadening participation across more communities.
