Our globe celebrates the diversity of the cultures represented within our classroom and school community. It features people holding hands with flags representing different cultural identities, symbols of different religions and ‘untied in diversity’ written in different languages. Together, these elements show that honouring and sharing our unique cultural identities, we create a connected, inclusive and vibrant community.

Our globe illustrates the complex relationship between AI and our planet. It highlights the negative environmental impacts of AI, such as increased greenhouse gas emissions caused by the high energy needed to power advanced technologies. At the same time, we wanted to show how AI can be used responsibly to support climate action- tracking forests, oceans, and wildlife through satellite data, and helping to predict extreme weather through early-warning predictions. Our message is to inspire people to consider responsible and sustainable AI use to help address environment challenges.

Our globe explores the conversations shared between people from different generations. We reflected on how love, stories, memories and traditions connect us across ages. Students interviewed family members and asked the questions they believe generations should be discussing in 2025. Quotes from the interviews were placed on the globes to show that every generation has wisdom to share- and that we learn from one other through conversations.

This globe celebrates the energy, creativity, and culture that makes Bristol unique. From its iconic suspension bridge to the balloon fiesta and the vibrant graffiti- students have shared the things they love most about the city. Together, these elements capture the spirit, rhythm, and vibe of Bristol- We love our city!

Our globe sends a powerful message to the world, aiming to empower communities. In the lead-up to our design, we discussed how the Transatlantic Slave Trade remains prevalent in our society, whether through climate impacts or socio-economic inequalities. We reflected on how the legacy of the slave trade made us feel and how we wanted to communicate this message.

Despite our sadness about the inequality it has caused, we wanted to highlight themes that reflect hope. The themes we chose to focus on were celebration of previously enslaved cultures, remembrance of the lives that have been lost, and the strength of courageous people who continue to fight against its lasting impact. We decided that the best way to represent these themes was through the careful selection of Adinkra symbols to support our call to action and images of resistance.
