The next in our CCA bitesize lunchtime talk with PhD Researchers welcomes Jenny Jackson-Smyth, a Researcher within the Future Island-Island project and practicing Artist based in Belfast. She has a degree in Architecture and a strong record of global engagement, including time teaching English in Hong Kong. As a researcher and art educator, she has developed a series of environmentally themed arts-based workshops for local Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3 schools in Northern Ireland, aiming to engender environmental practices from a young age.

Jenny’s talk is entitled: “Arts-based environmental learning with cross-community primary schools”. Children often learn by making, doing, and creating. Jenny asks: How can we help them understand complex environmental topics through arts-based learning? And do arts-based creative activities encourage climate awareness and interest in the natural environment?
