Climate Action and Sustainability

UCC was the first university in the world to be awarded a Green Flag from the Foundation for Environmental Education. 

The Glucksman is delighted to partner with UCC Green Campus to devise and present creative projects for schools and community groups that explore environmental issues through collaborative art making.

People and the Planet

21 - 25 November 2018 , 10am - 5pm, Admission Free

People and the Planet facilitated schools, community groups and children living in Direct Provision to work with artists to develop inventive installations from recyclables and natural materials.

Creative sessions took place in the Glucksman as well as outdoors in the University lower grounds so that children could learn about their local habitat. Participating groups explored biodiversity and sustainability, working together to present imaginative artworks for a public exhibition that takes place in Gallery 1 from 21 - 25 November 2018.
