Castle Rushen High School students will learn about climate change in a fun way, thanks to a visit from a group of UK 'eco entertainers'.

The Movingsounds group is a not-forprofitorganisation that provides arts-based environmental education workshops.

The band of players use music, video and visual art as an alternative way of teaching.

Friends Provident International has sponsored the group's visit to Castle Rushen High School later this week, on Friday 23rd April.

Movingsounds, which is based in the UK, will perform at six schools across theIsland focusing on the issues of climate change and the worldwide dependence upon oil as a fuel.

Movingsounds is made up of performers who are talented actors, musicians and youth workers who develop an exceptional rapport with the youngpeople they work with through their workshops.

Their working methods are effective and engaging to young people and teachers across the board, irrespective of learning styles, background, age and ability.

They aim to inspire young people, raise their aspirations and equip them for their futures.

Jonathan Hall, Director and General Manager at Friends Provident International, is pleased to support the visit by Movingsounds.

He said, "The Movingsounds group use an innovative approach to explain the important but complex issues surrounding climate change.  I'm sure students at Castle Rushen High School will find their visit both entertaining and informative. 

"At Friends Provident International, we take great pride in work we have done to reduce our own carbon footprint, but we also recognise that educating the Island's young people about climate change is equally important."
