Students compete over climate change

F I F E Co l l e g e c r e at i v e students have taken part in a unique competition to raise awareness of climate change in the Levenmouth area and the River Leven.

Four groups were set a brief to look at ways to promote climate change to local people which would help to clean up the river and promote good practice in the community.

With a timeframe of just 48 hours the groups put together their creative solutions choosing song, adverts and film as their mediums.

Sixteen students, all studying NC acting and theatre performance, presented their finished pieces to the judges.

The winning team was Cameron Tait from Blackburn, Daniel Morrison from Kirkcaldy, Fiona Howe from Kinglassie and Robert Ryan from Falkirk.

They produced a “mockumentary” combining humour with serious messages about climate change and the needs of the area.

Fife College is a supporter for the River Leven catchment project and the Creative Minds exercise was the first engagement with its students.

Environmental services co-ordinator John Wincott said: “It’s fair to say that at the final presentations the whole audience was amazed at the quality of the output from the students.

“All four groups produced different styles of productions and every one of them was exceptional.”
