A research based participatory artwork taking place over one year in the Department for Education, Government, UK. Exploring the role of schools in a time of climate and ecological collapse.

Responding to a policy about Education and Sustainability and the first Curriculum and Assessment Review in 14 years. The work focused on bringing variety of people in the know with civil servants, CAR panel members and a minister to explore Pedagogies for Reconnection and what children will need from schools to live in a world.

The work culminated in two workshops, a short video, graphic diagram, collection of children's drawings and a correspondence with the Minister Morgan.
