Pathways:

Education

 

Art

Artists in the U.S. will be solicited to use their talents to promote this organization, to teach other artists, students and scientists what a powerful tool for outreach ART can and should be to teach everyone what is needed to preserve and conserve our resources.  Future plans will facilitate the exchange of artists between Africa and America to solidify respect for all creative works and the cultures that nourish them.

 

Science

All activities will be carried out under the auspices or with the advice of scientists both in the US and in Africa to assure that solutions to problems and information that is disseminated is timely and environmentally correct.

 

River of Words

International Art and Poetry Contest (Visit their new HQ and GALLERY!! Down at 2525 8th Street in Berkeley for fabulous art and related products for sale).

PAINTED DOG CONSERVATION - Children's Bush Camp: Early in 2004 the fabulous Bush Camp begins a teacher training program and after that the Camp will be opened.  The curriculum for this conservation education program will incorporate the River of Words Contest.  Though timing this first year will be tight, we hope that there will be some entries from Zimbabwe.  The Education Director for Painted Dog, Bruce Lombardo, is enthusiastic about the possibilities for future artist's voices in the causes of conservation.    

Get on the path:

Africa matters is a pathway for conservation, ecology and biology classes and clubs, arts and photography organizations to make a difference. We would love to hear from anyone who is a student, a teacher, or member of any class or organization focused on conservation, ecology, biology, and art (including photography) to contact us. We know you have ideas, questions, expertise and we hope to make the network larger and strong to benefit all environments by all means. You can email or call.
