Giant Inflatable Globes & Earth Art
We have 3 foot and 6 foot inflatable globes that are great attention getters in a lobby, fair, parade or festival. They work great as part of an exhibit that accompanies kids artwork about our planet and/or earth education materials. Or invite kids to draw or write about taking care of our earth fight at the event.
Earth Theater Project
We're currently developing a performance that kids can put on about planet earth. Check back with us soon for more information.
Multimedia
Let kids dazzle adults with a combination of music, photos, drawings and narrative. You'll be surprised at what they can come up with. Place your creation on the web and it can help tell your story.
Musical Ambassadors
Music is a universal language that connects us all together. And just as we might enjoy the song of a bird or a whale, there are studies that show plants and animals benefit from listening to our music too!
We’re working on a number of ways that EarthSeeds and musicians can work together to change the world. Whether you are a local musician or an international star, if you believe music and celebration can help create a better world, we’d like to work with you.
You can connect with your audience and make a statement with our inflatable globes, earth postcards, or even our giant earth ball. Together we can reach thousands of people through concerts of all sizes, festivals, biodiesel music tours, email distributions, co-sponsorships, and benefit concerts. And in return we can help link people around the world to you through our website. Join our growing list of musicians and help spread EarthSeeds around the world.
The Singing Astronaut
The Singing Astronaut Program is a fun and memorable way to teach kids in grades K-6 about our planet grades K-6 through story, facts and songs. Kids get a kick out of the rapping astronaut as they learn how we all must cooperate as crew members on our planet "spaceship" as we travel through space together at 66,000 mph. The Singing Astronaut is currently available in Colorado Springs. Contact us if you are interested in a visit by the Singing Astronaut or if you would like to volunteer to take the program to schools in your area.
Global Youth Voice
What types of music or art from different areas of the world do you enjoy? Is your part of the world known for any types of music, instruments, art, dances, festivals, theater or other cultural traditions? How has the influence of culture in other parts of the world contributed to or detracted from your local culture? What ways can you think of that music and art can be used to bring people together and create a better world?
Do you or your class have a performance, cultural event or work of art you’d like to record that communicates a message about our planet? Post your work on the internet for us to link to or enter it in our Global Youth Voice project.
Help Young People and Our Planet
EarthSeeds is looking for volunteers to help us connect with partner organizations involved in the fields of arts and communications, research funding sources, find sponsors, reach out to youth educators, and developing content for our website and monthly e-newsletter. We also encourage you to get involved by helping young people in your area learn about how arts and communications can help the planet and then share their learning or project through our Global Youth Voice program.
Share your ideas, interests or what you're doing to help kids and the planet by contacting us at info@earthseeds.net.
