The University of Texas at Austin’s Planet Texas 2050 and Drama for Schools, alongside our Star 7th graders, hosted the Action Through the Arts: Creating Constellations of Change festival. The festival was the culmination of a semester-long research project with arts-based climate resilience projects with the 7th grade class sharing their discoveries.
On December 18th, our Stars showcased their research with performances, student-led panels, eco-arts workshops, and guest speakers during the festival. The festival was led through the work of a Student/Teacher Learning Community (STLC) with middle and high school students who initiated the idea for the 7th grade curriculum enhancement during the summer. The STLC wanted to create a festival that inspired a fusion of arts and environmental education to foster a more resilient climate future.
