Artist Olafur Eliasson, in conjunction with the Goethe Institut across the EU, has developed an art project that allows kids to create an artwork that speaks up for the future of the planet, and that adults can listen to what they have to say. It gives kids a voice on environmental issues, and the opportunity to connect and collaborate with a global audience. Earth Speakr is free of charge and comprises an app, website (https://earthspeakr.art/en), physical presentations and more!

Olafur Eliasson wrote this about the project:

“Earth Speakr is a collective artwork that invites kids to be artists. What Earth Speakr will become depends on the Earth Speakrs – their creativity and imagination. The artwork is made up of their thoughts and visions, concerns and hopes. What they create can be playful and whimsical, serious, or poetic. There is no right or wrong, and it is easy for everyone to take part. Earth Speakr invites kids to speak their hearts and minds and participate in shaping our world and the planet, today and in the future.”
