UWS Voices of the Future Series

School children from Greater Western Sydney have their say about the environment.

'Voices of the Future' is a collaboration between the Office of Western Sydney and UWS and features the artwork of children in Greater Western Sydney public schools. The children were asked to express their feelings about the environment through art.

Over 24 artworks were created and UWS has chosen a selection of these images that best represent our sustainability initiatives.
