About the project
This project will explore the tribal culture of the Penan people of Malaysian Borneo and visit the critically endangered Bornean Orangutan – taking you on a journey to discover your own connection to the forest, through art.
Through the project, we will be connecting children, using art and technology, with tribal culture as well as the plants and animals that live in the rainforest. By meeting the rainforest, John hopes that this will create a personal connection and bond to the rainforest and generate amazing pieces of art, along with lots of questions which can be answered by John himself as part of the live video broadcasts.
John will be posting blogs and video diaries live from Borneo from 6th-18th September 2019 (but questions can be submitted during any lesson, at any time and videos will be uploaded in HD on his return).
