For Teachers

Planet Frame is a youth film project that invites students to express their voices through short films and video essays about the planet, nature, and the future.

We invite teachers, librarians, mentors, and youth leaders to guide and support students in this meaningful creative process.

Your Role: Step-by-Step

 1. Introduce the Project

  • Present Planet Frame as a creative and personal opportunity to reflect on environmental and global issues.

  • Let students know they’ll be making a 3–10 minute video essay or short film about a topic they care about: nature, climate, change, or the future.

  • Emphasize: no experience or expensive tools needed — just their ideas and phone cameras.

 2. Motivate Participation

  • Suggest it as a summer project, class activity, club, or extra credit option.

  • Encourage solo projects or small teams.

  • Request sample videos from the organizers if you’d like examples to show.

 3. Support the Process

  • Help students brainstorm:

    • “What do I care about in nature?”

    • “What changes do I see around me?”

    • “What future do I hope for?”

  • Help review their scripts or spoken texts.

  • Offer access to simple tools or class time if possible.

4. Share Free Resources

 Be sure students use content marked: “Free for commercial use / No attribution required.”

 Teachers Can Be Project Curators

Any teacher can become a project curator for their students.
This does not require any extra paperwork or workload.

As a curator, you can:

  • Introduce the project to your class or group

  • Support students in choosing topics and formats

  • Help ensure video submissions are complete

  • (Optional) Join the local screening or discussion event

 This can be done as part of your regular classroom, summer activities, or club meetings — no special preparation required.

Curators are mentors and motivators, not tech experts.
Your encouragement helps students believe their voice matters.

 All curators will receive a letter of appreciation from the project team, and schools will be acknowledged on the official website and in project materials.
