CHELLIS Stories
Fast Fashion Educational Story 2022
Tara and Danielle are two sisters. They both buy lots of clothes and never think about the consequences of their purchasing habits. It is only after they have gone and bought more clothes for a work event that Tara’s boyfriend challenges them to change their actions. Tara realises her actions and advocates for change at the work event. Afterwards, she realises that she must implement more changes into her life.
Join Tara and Danielle on their latest shopping spree, where they start to question whether they really need to buy new clothes for a work event, or ,if they can start making sustainable choices in their lives which will have a greater impact on the world around them. Hopefully the behaviours of the sisters will encourage you to change how you think about fast fashion.

The 4 Elements of Sustainability
Transformative Educational Journey 2022
''In this community art programme, 30 TY Scoil Mhuire’s participants worked on ideas and plans for the topic “Sustainability/Greener Ways To A Better Future''. The programme was formed around a learning process of 8 sustainability workshops that evolved into two pieces of artwork. Firstly, a graffiti art wall highlighted the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, which was displayed on a school wall. Secondly, a mobile mural was designed from doodles within the participants' climate anxiety notebooks and development drawing sheets. Each mural stage has an individual story established around air pollution, water pollution, deforestation and consumption. Together the murals describe locally and globally issues. The four elements (air, water, fire, and earth) shape the narrative within each mural, in addition, four endangered Irish animals are dominant in each phase. The air stage shows the biggest countries and businesses contributing to air pollution, here the orange butterfly is key. The water stage demonstrates key players in the overfishing industry, this is included with generic plastic pollution materials and an overfarmed wild Irish salmon. The earth stage includes central contributors to global deforestation, showing how various human ‘necessities’ such as money and paper are damaging our forests and their wildlife habitat i.e. the golden eagle. Lastly, the fire stage features the old Irish goat with omnipresent fast fashion clothing chains and popular over consumed global products. Ultimately, this programme is a depiction of contemporary sustainability problems aiming to awaken a conscious environmental viewership.

‘A Dissenting Voice Amongst the Dissenting Voices’
Engaging the Disengaged: The Complimentary Convergence of Development Education and Social Art Practice
​
The purpose of this programme is too theoretically, analytically and practically explore the link between the disciplines of ‘Development Education’ (DE) and ‘Social Art Practice’ (SAP). Appropriately, the study aimed to create a combined pedagogical learning environment that performs an aspect of social change through participation with young adults enrolled in education. Initially, the research fieldwork was attained by undertaking a reflective practice methodology with a group of disengaged and disadvantaged individuals from a YouthReach (YR) institute in Dublin City. Apt to the participant cohort mechanism, the researcher and the participants produced two modes of artistic practice: Bourriaud (1998) and Beuys (1973) art practices of relational aesthetics and the social sculpture will meet to expand the potential of art and transform social and human relations. Together they complement the new learning paradigm by attaching a feature of socio-economic struggles that directly impacts the life experience of an individual. The educational paradigm in question immerses the participating young adults into a learning experience that is formed from a series of themes that are identified in the literature, which are instrumental to the identities of DE and SAP.
​
Primary to the educators aspirations is to facilitate the response to educational and social transformation, and embracing its existence innately by inspiring others to act on improving their social and lifestyle relations.

Consumer resistance can also express itself through the creative practices of everyday life and eventually consolidate in a way of living that is grounded, among other things, in the aesthetics of resistance and vehicles of new meanings.

'PLAY YOUR PART' (ongoing)
Collaborative Practice
An illustrative and creative lesson plan which aims to teach people to be conscious about the biggest global challenges that humanity currently faces, and will face in the future. The ongoing classroom based project encourages creative thinking and critical engagement as the individual is tasked with illustrating their feelings and opinions on various issues, as well as providing creative solutions. In essence, what the student is setting out to achieve is to teach people about global issues in a creative, active and experiential setting.​ 'Play Your Part' will develop a growing sense of assurance in relation to the path the individual wishes to take in their life; as they find themselves ever so acutely aware of the multitude of challenges that face social development and cohesion and with that in mind is their purpose, if it is to be a true and virtuous one, must aim to bring a fresh positive change. With this somewhat profound sense of responsibility and belief in the vital role art expression and transformative education will play throughout the fourth industrial revolution and the shaping of our societal future, as it is his intention to promote the cultivation of ‘change' throughout the informal and non-formal education paradigm.
Visualise a new iteration of this story; become active in your community, land, oceans, society, and culture, devote your time to change; design greater support and awareness; increase the mobilisation; and play your part in this pivotal age of the life narrative.
