MUSIC VIDEO - Sing For The Climate - Malta Edition 2021
San Andrea School launched a music video: Sing For the Climate - Do It Now! This forms part of an international campaign launched by Belgian TV presenter Nic Balthazar who had presented the project to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change aka The Paris Agreement (COP21).
Our official contribution as Malta is somewhat of a relaunch of this initiative as the world struggles out of Covid-19. This music video took a totally different dimension as Project Maleth kindly joined forces and offered to transmit this video LIVE from Outer Space from the International Space Centre. Maltese biomedical scientist Prof Joseph Borg conducted the first-ever Maltese biomedical research remotely using a Biocube. Our video was loaded on the same Biocube. The video was downlinked from the International Space Station and transmitted live on Saturday 18th September 2021.
Prof Joseph Borg and Nic Balthazar attended the Online Launch on 17th July 2021 that was organised for the San Andrea School Community. Right from the outset, Nic put the whole audience into perspective as he joined in whilst on-site filming the natural disasters presently ravaging the regions of Belgium and the neighbouring countries.
On Wednesday 27th October 2021, the video won the Public Vote at the 1st Edition of the Malta Climate Action Awards.
The video is also being put into perspective of all the expectations of the UN's - Glasgow's COP26 (Sun, Oct 31, 2021 – Fri, Nov 12, 2021).
