Our goal is to help the Bee Friendy Arts Camp participants explore various art forms and ideas and to discover their authentic voices in affecting positive change in our community. Our measurable outcomes are that participants in the Bee Friendly Art Camp report: 1) an increased sense of personal 'agency' and 'empowerment' to improve quality of life in our community 2) an understanding of the threat to pollinators and why pollinator protection is a community priority 3) an understanding of the ways art sparks understanding of sustainability and environmental protection 4) more skills in using art to express sustainability and interconnections in efforts to improve our community. 5) an increased commitment to engaging in personal efforts to improve our community Through interviews, and pre and post assessments we will measure and report improvement in the areas identified in the measurable outcomes. We also want the participants in Bee Friendly Art Camp to review the whole experience and make recommendations for improving the Art Camp and other community engagement projects for future participants. We will document and share results so that we and others can learn from this experience.
