Description of idea
Describe your idea and concept of your work in relation to the festival outlines:
Problem
-Copyrights of seeds makes environmental problems and the suffering of local farmers -GM foods have potential dangers Solution
-Make people involving and educating them the dangers of GM food first, and the back stories of GM foods. Concept -To create an organisation, and start from a VOTE campaign, using people’s daily fruit APPLES to get people’s attentions, and then leading them into the further education progress
-To spread the ideas of : -Back to natural -Care about your health -Give more supports to the local farmers, refused to eat GM foods -To copyleft the seeds by GM food labelling
What kind of communication approach do you use?
A2 Poster to catch their eyes, does not have to be much educaional meanings, but the purple is to let them to make a choice Book mark with the words “GO NATURAL” on, it is like a reminder in every aspects of life Two vote boxes one is for GM apple, the other is non-GM apple Website to take people into the further step to educate them in relation to the GM foods, encourage public to take an action of GM food labelling, eat locally
What are in your opinion concrete benefits to the society because of your communication?
Three major benefits to encourage people “back to natural“:
-GM foods destroyed the rights of local farmers to using their seeds, we encourage people to eat non-GM food, it helps to protect local farmers’ rights to use their seeds rather than buy seeds from the company
-GM foods, at the moment, have dangers in people’s health, so we encourage people to eat the natural foods
-GM food destroyed much crops , and brought a seris of environ- mental problem, so to encourage people to eat natural foods is also to protect the environment
What did you personally learn from creating your submitted work?
Life is about choices, everyday we choose to do something, is not only about the choices themselves, but about the values behind.
I personally like this idea, because people like to give their own voices and like to paticipate this choices, and to see what answers they can get. I try to use this form of voting and choices question to do a survey to collect the fig- ures and lead them into next step.
Why is your work, GOOD communication WORK?
It is a progress: draw people’s attentions publicly and make their won decision personally
The Location is in Natural and Organic foods restaurants, the target audien- ceis are who would like to eat natural and organic foods, people who care more about the quality of foods.
After you purchase from the restaurants, you got a opportunity to vote some- thing, people are not likey to give up this “free” and “reward” opportunity.
I do not tell people what I am doing at the first stage, but leave them to explore by themselves.
After people are involving this campaign or after few weeks, the package of the two boxes will be tear off, and the boxes will be transparent and make peo- ple will see the truth, what behind this kind of apple and make a comparison
Where and how do you intent do implement your work?
Where

How
