we protect
what we love

Educating and inspiring the young through music and the arts are at the core of our strategy for making an impact. Our Voices for the Planet (V4TP) education programs inspire young people to love and protect wildlife and biodiversity by creating their own wildlife artworks in different art forms including drawing, writing, photography, videography, and music (vocal & instrumental).

how does
the challenge work

Voices for the Planet is an annual online wildlife art competition developed by LumiVoce to engage students from kindergarten, primary, and secondary schools so they can learn about biodiversity and develop compassion and love for wildlife and nature through the arts.

We provide artistic workshops and biodiversity talks, and step-by-step guidelines for different challenges that children, educators, and parents to utilize. Students can choose to participate in drawing, writing, photography, videography, and music (vocal & instrumental) with different themes each year to highlight an important ecosystem or animal group.
