Unplugged

This short and simple film is about renewable energy. It is the only work in the Library to directly and explicitly address this important concept for the future of Europe. At only 90 seconds long, the film is a perfectly bite-size film for students to watch and perhaps re-watch before beginning discussion. A penguin wants to play his guitar on a shelf of ice but is unable to do so because there is no electricity. However, with the help of the friendly seal, the penguin works out how to use the sun to power his guitar without causing anyone else harm. The film provides an opening for a discussion about renewable energy and climate change with children aged 8-11 years old.
