Hammersmith & Fulham
Children's Parliament on the Environment

November 2002

On 12 November 2002, ten primary schools from the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham entered the fourth annual Children's Parliament on the Environment.

Representatives from each school gave a presentation on their chosen topic before an assembly which included members of the Council, fellow pupils from around the borough and representatives of local organisations and businesses.

For this Parliament, the children researched our local links with the global environment through themes like Climate Change and the Fashion Industry. They also communicated via email with children around the world to share experiences and ideas for change.

The Children's Parliament is a joint intitiative of Hammersmith and Fulham Urban Studies Centre and the education and environment departments of Hammersmith and Fulham Council.

The Council's Education Department has information on their website regarding the Question and Answer session that took place at the Parliament.
