As world leaders meet at the COP26 conference in Glasgow to seek a solution to global warming and climate change, an exhibition at Sonairte, the National Ecology Centre in Laytown has attracted over 400 entries from school children in Louth, Meath and Fingal.
Sonairte invited students, primary and post primary, to submit an art work to reflect their hopes and fears around the current climate crisis and COP26 outcomes and they were inundated with entries.
Their work will form the basis of an exhibition at Sonairte which will take place on Sunday 7th November 10:00 to 5:00and Friday, Saturday and Sunday 12th, 13th & 14th November 10:00 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Pictured above is a turtle made from plastic bottle tops which was made by 16 Transition Year students from Coláiste na Mí.
There will be an awards event taking place on the 12th November at 6 p.m. but the exhibition is also open to members of the public at the times above.
The guest speaker at the awards night will be Peter Donegan who is the landscape gardener on the RTE One TV programme DIY SOS
If you are planning to attend it might be a good idea to call ahead on
