Visual texts can say so much and for some of you it may prove to be a strength that you bring to your group. Please feel free to explore visual expression which is appropriate, to explore your chosen theme. Have a look at some of the ideas on this page. They may spark something in you. The artist below might inspire you to try something new.

The idea of social commentary that Banksy epitomises might stimulate your thoughts. DO NOT GRAFFITI!!!! but perhaps create a series of curated visual texts that draw upon the street art in your cities, based upon our SDG themes or AI and Gender bias. Combine them with poetry, song lyrics, letters and you will have a multilayered response to share. Use your group's skills to build depth and a call to action.

Watch this video of an eight year old's song about climate change.

You can use film to explore your topic and a mash up of each country exploring a theme could be possible. You already have access to the ETwinning platform but can perhaps use Google Shared Folders and Docs or Google Groups with a teacher participant if that works for you.
