Tristan da Cunha 2013 - Celebrating survival, creating sustainability pilot project initiative.

A research partnership between the Scottish Centre for Island Studies, University of the West of Scotland, the UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), coordinated by the Joint Nature Conservation Committee and the community of Tristan da Cunha exploring the challenges of climate change through education, awareness raising and the dissemination of information, good ideas and good practice.
The project aims to support and facilitate the young islanders, all pupils of St Mary’s school, Tristan da Cunha to explore and engage with sustainability issues in relation to their own environment, history and future through the making and sharing of visual media both within the community of Tristan da Cunha and beyond to islanders and audiences interested in island culture and environment everywhere. Mr Jim Kerr, Education Advisor, Tristan da Cunha is the lead partner representative for the island community and school and is working closely with the young people in both producing and developing creative responses to the island’s environment and social change.
