Week #2 with the Tree Musketeers
Blogged by Sam, Mackenzie, Tristin and Vanessa
This week has been primarily focused around contacting people outside of our school with whom we hope could help us with spreading awareness of our Global Goal in our school, as well as around our community. So far, we are working on establishing our connections with the WWF, the Barrie Native Friendship Centre, and our local elementary schools.
After having e-mailed our request for an interview to a representative from the WWF, we made a follow-up call to make sure that we would be able to arrange it, since we would like to include it in our short film. As of right now, we have sent them a list of our questions, and are waiting on their reply.
Earlier this week, we also got in contact with our local elementary schools, Pine River and Angus Morrison, to see if they would allow us to present to their intermediate-level students about the importance of environmental conservation. Both principals have received an outline of the activities and presentations we hope to show the students, but we are waiting on a reply for this as well.
On top of this, our group has also begun preparing a list of questions and searching up contacts from the Barrie Native Friendship Centre, as we hope to interview them for our short film as well. Indigenous communities and reserves are often greatly affected by climate change and environmental destruction, and many also have strong spiritual connections with the earth; for this reason, we thought that we should include a different perspective in our documentary on the importance of preserving life on land.
We hope to receive feedback from all of the organizations and schools we have contacted in the near future, so that we can begin producing our documentary and have it finished as soon as possible.
