Being a Bee (Stories for a Better World, Video)
Click for this Resource!
This film is the result of a 12 month Heritage Lottery Funded project in which Global Generation involved young people in exploring cultural creation stories and the scientific origins of the universe. The Bee story emerged as a central motif for where we have all come from and our role in defining where we are headed. Young Big Bang Ambassadors co-produced the film and the narrative is a tapestry of young people’s writing.

Jane, I would like to send this film to Susan Conlon, head of youth services at my public library in Princeton, NJ. Susan also heads a successful environmental film festival at the library – 2016 will be it’s 10th season. I’d like to copy you in the email. What would that be? They often Skype in producers and co-producers to follow a film. And, I love the main title – Stories for a Better World. Maybe the library will borrow it for their next theme!

Hi Laura,
Jane and I must apologise for only now some 2 or 3 years later seeing your comment! It’s a bit of a long shot, but If you are still interested in showing the video, we are very open to that and will try our best to communicate better.
Best Wishes,
Rod
Was deeply moved by this short video — truly inspiring to hear and see this creative response from young people. Great job!
Hi Brian,
Many thanks for your words of encouragement and support. So glad you found it inspiring! We are trying to make the work as collaborative as possible…………since we see that “collaboration” is one of is key elements of the larger story.
Cheers,
Rod
