Hosted by CBBC’s Rhys Stephenson, join BAFTA Kids for an important
conversation for children with programme makers about
the actions they're taking both on and off screen to help save the planet.
BAFTA
is doing more than ever before as part of a wider commitment to
sustainability. In 2020, BAFTA’s Film Awards were carbon neutral and
since 2011, BAFTA has been the guardian of albert, a project that
brings together the film and television industry to reduce their environmental
impact and inspire audiences to act for a sustainable future.
The
environment and the current climate crisis are high on the priority list for
young people who are increasingly using their voice and power to tell those in
authority that this is a subject that matters to them. BAFTA wants to
support this audience by demonstrating what the screen industries are doing to
reduce their impact; how the Film/TV industries can have a positive impact
through the stories they tell; inspire young people to make a difference by
talking about what action they can take. Join in a game of Play
Your Carbon Right and explore a case study about how storylines and a change in
production techniques can all have impact.
Panel includes series co-ordinator for EastEnders and albert trainer, Suzanne Dolan, Lucy Murphy, Director of Kids Content, UK & IRL at Sky, and Gary Matsell, Head of Production, Channel X.
