JAKARTA The Australian Embassy in partnership with Perth Education City, the Indonesian Nobel Foundation and the Climate Project Indonesia hold a short movie competition themed. ""Climate Change What does it mean to you and your surroundings?""

The embassy is inviting high school students from Greater Jakarta (aged 15 to 19 year) to submit a short movie (3 to 5 minutes) on any aspect of the theme. The winning team will travel to Perth for five days sponsored by Perth Education City where they will be exposed to the latest developments on climate change, and create another short film on the studies and technologies available.
