Listen "Right-On Green"
Episode Synopsis
Two Danish institutions have discovered eye-catching ways to go green.From Greta Thunberg’s school strike to the Fridays for the Future movement, there’s no shortage of children taking a stand against climate change.But while their activism takes place outside the school gates, some say that what kids are taught while they’re at school is just as important — if not more so.In this episode, we visit the Green Free School, in Amager, and talk to co-founder Phie Ambo about how the school is preparing pupils for an uncertain future and teaching them to build a sustainable society.Then we head to Bellahøj Kirke, in Copenhagen's northern suburbs, to see how Denmark's burgeoning "green church" movement is helping to spread the climate gospel.Further reading:The Green Free SchoolBellahøj KirkeThe sound design is by two local artists: Squares and Triangles and Scenery.Visit www.archipelagoaudio.com for more information.
