What: Lizzy and Jackie, the passionate and talented makers of STTOP, will share how they made the series and developed their Free Education Program for Primary and High Schools.

STAY TUNED TO OUR PLANET (STTOP) is a 28 episode environment and sustainability series for young people which aims to help alleviate the on-the-rise climate stress in our young people. 

The series features some of Australia’s leading ‘eco-warriors’; from activists and authors, to musicians and scientists who unpack key environmental issues and deliver easy everyday actions we can all take. Topics include plastic, energy, transport, waste, fast fashion, recycling/up-cycling, activism and biodiversity/nature.

Accompanying the STTOP videos is a free Education Program for schools and community groups across Australia. This provides High School and Primary School teachers and students with a dynamic and entertaining resource for Science and Humanities, Years 5-6 and 7-9 mapped to the Sustainability Cross Curricular Priority. Units include lessons and activities in school and at home, discussion guides, teacher guidelines and a Teacher Support Resource.  The videos would be great for adult community education as well!
