A Warm, Wide, World: Illustrating Climate Change for Children
WorkshopDarel Seow, Dorcas Tang Wen Yu
4-Day Pass OR 1 & 2-Day Pass OR Public Workshop Ticket
Climate change affects everyone, including young children who might feel but not yet fully understand it. This is where illustrators step in, with their gentle yet compelling approaches to environmental storytelling. We speak to illustrators who use their art to explain complex topics like biodiversity loss, food waste, and what children can do to protect the world they are growing up in.
This programme is in partnership with Difference Engine.
