00:00The title for our project was to create a vibrant culture for generations to come.

00:16We brought our project to life by a couple of different things, by doing shows like our

00:21Mars show, by making our book, by going into talking to schools and by doing assemblies.

00:28Our book was called Pass It On and it is to pass on the message to people about sustainability,

00:35especially young people.

00:36Our book has been really successful because it's been passed around so many different

00:41places.

00:42America, Mexico, Dubai, England, Bane, it's been in 22 counties in Ireland, it's been

00:50all over Northern Ireland, it's been in like over 29 different primary schools, high schools.

00:56Our book has ended up in the hands of Stormont, so our book has been in the hands of the Agriculture

01:02Minister and he said that our book was a very good job.

01:05We've also sent it to the King, but he hasn't got back to us yet.

01:09We've also done a social event at school, we've raised about £1,600, £1,700 for the

01:15Air Ambulance.

01:16I am personally proud of us winning the Capital, it's been amazing, I've learnt a lot more

01:24and what I knew about cows in general, I'm more a sheep man.
