MALTHOUSE EDUCATION GOES GREEN

WHERE WILL YOU BE IN 10 YEARS?
The Education Program is an integral part of the Malthouse Theatre’s Greenlight Project.

In 2008, we seek engagement from all Victorian teachers and students in finding ways to create ecologically sustainable theatre, and by creating administrative processes that reduce, reuse and recycle. The beginning of the Education Program’s commitment to going green is now reflected in the way we will be administering bookings and payments.

Our new Education Brochure is printed on recycled paper and uses soya-based inks. From Term One, 2008, the Malthouse Theatre website will be the main source of program information, school bookings, resources, teacher preview dates as well as regular updates. In particular we encourage all teachers to:
• Use the on-line booking forms for the Education Program
• Use the on-line booking forms for Malthouse Shows
• Order resources/education notes on-line
• Purchase PDF versions or CD versions of current education resources
• Pay accounts using direct EFTPOS transfer, eliminating the need to print and mail cheques

As well, on each education ticket sold a 50c fee will go to offset the carbon emissions generated by the performance you see.
