Environmental Films & Curricula for Schools!

Plastic Free Delaware is thrilled to be launching a new film program for schools throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. The Wild and Scenic Film festival on Tour has been curating and touring inspiring film festivals across the country since 2003, but we are the first to bring their new grade-centered film programs to schools on the east coast!

The Wild and Scenic Film Festival (WSFF) provides a 40-50 minute program of artistic, inspiring, grade-centered (K-4, 5-8, 9-12)  films to schools with paired curriculum designed to incite creative thinking and foster a sense of personal responsibility for environmental protection. The wide range of topics include climate change, water, social justice, diversity, plastic pollution, land use, zero waste, environmental protection, recreation, sustainable agriculture and food production. We then connect the school with local environmental organizations for hands-on activities to deepen the impact and encourage continued local involvement.

Thank you for your interest in WSFF! Please see the overview of the film programs and the associated curricula below. Contact Cat Stenta, (302) 530-0519 or cewstenta@gmail.com, for more details.

Here are THREE ways your school or organizations could show the films:

1. As an assembly - and then each teacher can use the curriculum in their classrooms

2. In class (suggestion: ONE day to watch the films, ONE day to use the curriculum, and ONE day to have a hands-on activity)

3. As a take-home activity - both the films and curriculum!

After you've decided to show the program and received approval from your school, please complete the AGREEMENT form linked below and you will gain access to the detailed curriculum, the films (a vimeo link) and our curated resources for connections to your local organizations for hands-on experiences.

Happy Earth Day, every day!
