Additional activity:

Share an image you have captured which shows what the environment means to you at least two days before the meeting. Send via email (ksambucci5@rvc.ac.uk) or WhatsApp (+447871491756) to Kelly who will create a picture collage which will be shared at our next meeting. Get creative, we welcome abstract images and particularly encourage you to reflect on the environment where you live. 



Step for the final works:

Internal conversations, decision and elaboration of the ideas of topics for the final works by the working groups and subsequent submission to the coordinators of the course. This task will be of responsibility of each group in complete autonomy.
