Languages: Arabic, Chaldean, Farsi, Portuguese and English
Ormiston Beachcroft Academy Secondary learners have created a spoken word poetry film about climate issues. The poem has been written and performed by these learners. The refrain ‘Can’t Breathe Won’t Breathe’ reminds us of the power of the spoken word and collaboration. The learners have big voices which they have used to explore issue close to their heart. The video imagery and soundscape has been collated by Malachi Kidd, a Queen’s Park Community pupil who also collaborated in last year’s project. The film is simple yet effective. The learners hope the film will not only raise awareness of the climate issue of the planet, but also demonstrate how young people coming together on a project can make changes by using digital media as a means to inspire change.

We also learned to slow down while we adapt to life in the pandemic and take time to observe the beauty around us that we had failed to notice before.
