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:

Share your ideas and  experiences about people-environment relations in the forum in the virtual syllabus and try to search for possible connections with your colleagues. If you will find common interests you can decide to create a collective final work.
