Upload your pitch video

Add a link from YouTube to a video of no more than 3 minutes duration that outlines why your class wants to be part of this program by addressing the following three questions:

Imagine yourself as a designer for the Urban Agora Centre of Excellence – in your pitch, share your wildest and most creative ideas on how to make urban farms in the city more fun and interactive. How can the Urban Agora become a vibrant and exciting hub that everyone wants to be a part of?
Describe how your involvement in the Impact Advocates program and the Urban Agora project can inspire your school community to participate in creating a sustainable environment.
In your pitch, envision the ripple effect your participation in the Impact Advocates program and work on the Urban Agora project will have on the local Newcastle community, promoting lasting change in the region’s food systems.

Please Note:

This digital initiative is specifically focused on embedding educational institutions as a foundational pillar of Feedback Organic’s proposed Centre of Excellence in Newcastle.

The Urban Agora Centre of Excellence is a collaborative hub aimed at addressing society’s disconnect from our food production system, by fostering sustainable urban agriculture, innovation, education, and community engagement to transform the way we grow, consume, and connect with our food.

Add a link from YouTube or Vimeo to a video of no more than 3 minutes duration that addresses the three questions above:
