Activities program of the exhibition “Riverscapes IN FLUX” for a young audience in cooperation with “Live and Learn International”: Science slam, poster exhibition, talks and film screenings on the topic of climate change and a free guided tour of the exhibition by students of the University of Fine Arts.

Within the framework of the exhibition „Riverscapes IN FLUX“ the Goethe-Institut Hanoi will organize the „Green Art Weekend“ on 21th and 22th April with interactive events for the whole family.

The weekend starts with a film screening on Saturday evening. The film „About Water“ shows the development of destructive floods and catastrophic droughts in Africa or Asia as a result of climate change. Various activities invite families, children and young adults to deal with subjects like „environment and sustainability“ in a creative and playful manner.

On Sunday morning experts will do short presentations, accompanied by photos and films, on the topic „environment and river landscapes in Vietnam“, followed by a discussion with the audience. In the afternoon, among a wide choice of activities such as „Painting-Action“, „Recycling-Games“ or „Flash Mob Dancing“, filmlets by young filmmakers will provide information about climate change and its impacts on river landscapes.

The „science slam“ offers a novel and very entertaining way to learn more about climate change and environmental protection. Students from different universities in Hanoi will present with a good sense of humour themes like climate change, environmental protection and riverscapes. The audience is invited to award a prize to the best presentation and to have lots of fun!!

At the same time you have the opportunity to enjoy a free guided tour of the exhibition “Riverscapes IN FLUX” by students of the University of Fine Arts in the Fine Arts Museum.
