Environmental Youth Forum

Admission: FREE ADMISSION FOR SCHOOLS WITH THE AVAILABILITY OF FREE BUS TRANSPORTATION FOR SCHOOLS IN NEED. Reservations will start just before the December Holidays.

 

Program Details: The ENVIRONMENTAL YOUTH FORUM is a three-day event, held at the Christopher B. Smith Rafael Film Center, featuring a collection of challenging and engaging films, speakers and exhibits by local environmental activists. Through the screening of dozens of films on multiple screens, this three-day forum offers some of the newest and best thinking about environmentalism. It introduces students to environmental-related opportunities and concerns such as green jobs, green lending and moral dilemmas that arise from issues such as global warming, war, over-population, genetically modified foods, etc. The forum has an “active cinema” component wherein representatives from a wide range of environmental groups provide information about the work of their organizations at tables in our “active cinema” room.

 

The themes for the 2016 EYF are: Bikes v.s Cars, Respecting our Oceans, & Engaging Working Class Communities. Some of our already programmed films: Landfill Harmonic, In Defense of Food (a new documentary based on Michael Pollan’s book), The Boy and the World, Racing with Copepods (with a panel discussion), Bikes vs. Cars, Plant Pure Nation, a return of 'Cowspiracy', Catching the Sun and many more including some films in 3D.

 

All CFI Ed programs are STEAm (formerly 'STEm') programs.
