E a r t h D a y
Earth Day in Fez was celebrated by a group of thirty children from around the Fez Medina. They came together to participate in a drawing and art workshop to express their personal feelings about the environment. The project was funded by the ALC/ALIF Environment Club
The workshop was coordinated by Omar Chennafi with artistic direction from Australian textile/installation artist Kim Simon. She was assisted by Mitch O'Sullivan and New Zealanders Georgia Bartlett and Katy Hassall.

Children from the Fez Medina Children's Library also took part with two of the librarians coming along to assist the children.
After their works of art were completed the children were delighted by the notion of turning their work in to a "planet" to hang in their rooms or on neighbourhood trees.
