KUKI 06 Environmental Program 8+

Our environment is as thrilling as it is diverse: we move through prehistoric landscapes and dive into unfathomable seas from which funny fish emerge. Featherless chickens are given handmade jackets to wear and rebellious pigeons get involved in politics. Between activist gardens, magical portals and destructive floods, we learn to live in harmony with our richly complex environment.

Themes: Astronomy, oceanography, prehistory, natural disasters, education, food, activism, gardening, animal rights, greed, community, solidarity, politics

School subjects: General studies, biology, geography, ethics
