Topics

You can make your video about anything that you feel is relevant to Maurice Ile Durable. For 2010, students involved in Civil Action Teams, InnovEd and Green Schools are invited to showcase their achievements with us on film. Even if you are not part of one of these projects, we want you to give voice to your opinions too. Our great diversity leads to a large number of perspectives which in turn will yield more solutions.

If you have some innovative ideas then share them with us. But there is no need to reinvent the wheel. Find out about the many initiatives going on locally and overseas and tell us you think about them.
