- Guidance for the children on how to communicate effectively with the
public, based on our professional experience in advertising, marketing and communications.
- Informational discussion of pressing environmental issues with an
explanation of how people can help create a greener, healthier and more sustainable planet.
- Photographer(s) to take pictures of the children and their work.
- Possible media coverage. The children may be interviewed,
photographed, or filmed for print, broadcast and other media.
- Forms for parents or guardians to sign giving permission to show
pictures of their children and their work on-line on the Hearts & Minds website - www.change.net - and in other media. A
copy of this form is attached.
Your organization would provide:
- 20 - 25* kids or teens at one time and plenty of table or desk space
(at least 30" wide x 30" deep per child) for them to work on. This event must be
in a public or community space, not in a private home. We need an advance estimate of how
many will attend.
*Events with as few as 10 or as many 50 are also possible.
- Screened adult supervision, at least one adult for
every seven kids.
- Light refreshments for all of those attending. The maximum number of
adults to be expected from Hearts & Minds is four volunteers. You will be kept posted
if additional media will be attending.
- Art supplies* sufficient for all the children to work with at the same
time. This should include:
- clean white paper (8-1/2" x 11") or stiff, white, poster-size paper (at least 11" x
17")
- a full range of brightly colored, non-toxic paint, tested in
advance to make sure they work well on the paper provided.
- No more than three kids should have to share one full set.
- 8-1/2" x 11" lined paper and pens for each child to
write essays or poetry.
*If you are not able to provide art materials,
Hearts & Minds may find sponsors for this. Please let us know in advance if you cannot provide
all of the specified materials.
