The Environment and the Arts

This project looked at the way we behave towards the environment and the influence that visual and performing arts has on our attitudes and behaviour towards the environment. Findings from the research were used to produce a training manual and package containing design principles for incorporation of the arts into extension for sustainable landscapes.

The University of New England respects and acknowledges that its people, courses and facilities are built on land, and surrounded by a sense of belonging, both ancient and contemporary, of the world's oldest living culture. In doing so, UNE values and respects Indigenous knowledge systems as a vital part of the knowledge capital of Australia. We recognise the strength, resilience and capacity of the Aboriginal community and pay our respects to the Elders past, present and future.
