Welcome to beetroute's The SLOW
Journey! |
| |
| In brief... |
| |
| When: From 31 July 2008 to June 2009. |
| |
| Where: From Dar es Salaam, Tanzania To Turkey. Extended to
The Netherlands |
| |
| Why: - Practise being true; - Learn about sustainability;
- Share this knowledge with others. |
| |
| How: SLOW (stands for 'Sustainable LOW' carbon). The team
chose to use bicycles as their mode of SLOW travel. They have also
sailed. At times, for safety reasons, they required the use of public
transport. |
| |
| Who: Over 600 school students in The Netherlands followed
The SLOW Journey at schools, plus an international audience. |
| |
| What: beettv produced: |
| |
| - 'Who wants to be a beetionaire?' is a fun, 7 part
educational series of short videos covering simple geographical
and historical facts about the countries visited by beetroute.
For non-native English speakers, it is also a good tool
for practicing English. (HD) |
| |
| - The SLOW Journey is a series of 'on-the-road' videos
shot from a handy cam, often while riding on the bikes.
An episode was produced for each of the countries the
team passed through. The series also clearly displays
the team's learning curve of short film production. They
have had zero professional training and have developed
their skills throughout the journey. |
| |
| The SLOW Journey archive section offers you the complete
experience, including the beettv products, routelogs (an
in depth written journal of each section travelled, travel
information, visa requirements etc.), written blogs from
the team, maps of the route and flags. |
| |
| Classroom or home-school work sheets are available for
each country on request at info@beet-route.com
|
| |
| beetroute was not organised by an outside party/group/company
or organisation. Jon and Aukje planned, prepared, financed,
implemented and completed this project themselves, nearly
100% whilst being on the road. beetroute however thanks
all those that have spread the word, volunteered, assisted,
sponsored gear, read, viewed and commented. We would not
have made this far without the help and assistance of
many. Thank you all kindly. |
