UNEP ON THE GROUND |
CinéONU screening “Project Wild Thing” | |
UNEP Brussels Liaison Office co-organized together with the United Nations Regional Information Centre (UNRIC) a CinéONU event where the documentary film ‘Project Wild Thing’ was shown. The film is an exploration of how children have become disconnected from the natural world especially in Western societies and is an attempt to reconnect children with nature. After the showing, a panel discussion took place with film director David Bond, Member of the European Parliament and marine ecologist Ricardo Serrão Santos and Ulf Björnholm, Head of UNEP Brussels Liaison Office. Lively interaction with the audience that included children followed. During the debate, Mr Björnholm stressed the importance of having both a bottom-up and a top-down approach on the issue. The Project Wild Thing movement cannot achieve the change without - for instance - support from the education system; it must be complemented by a systemic change supported by authorities at national and even international level.
