Idea collage. University guide 2012: University of Greenwich. The University of Greenwich's main campus consists of three baroque buildings on the bank of the Thames There aren't many universities that can boast a world heritage site, but this one can.
The main campus is on the banks of the Thames in three baroque buildings designed by Sir Christopher Wren at the end of the 17th century. Other sites are Avery Hill, in an 86-acre park in Eltham, south-east London, and Medway, another charming campus full of Edwardian redbrick and ivy, near Chatham's historic dockyard.

Janet Cardiff. Janet Cardiff (born 15 March 1957) is a Canadian artist who works chiefly with sound and sound installations; especially a form she calls audio walks.
She works in collaboration with her husband and partner George Bures Miller. Cardiff and Miller currently live and work in Berlin. Janet Cardiff first gained international recognition in the art world for her audio walks in 1995. Early Life and Education[edit] Janet Cardiff was born in 1957 in Brussels, Ontario, Canada, and grew up on a farm outside of a small village. Solo works[edit] Her first major work based in recorded sound was called The Whispering Room, a minimal work consisting of a dark space with 16 small round speakers mounted on stands that play the voice of individual characters. Some of Cardiff's most well known solo works are her audio walks. In Real Time (1999) was the very first video walk that Cardiff created. Gap Years, Career Breaks and Responsible Travel in Brazil. Join Oyster's lively gap year placements in Brazil, Latin America's largest and most extrovert nation.
Music and dance are everywhere and there's a real passion for life (and football!). But Brazil's social problems and poverty are no secret either. Our voluntary placements involve working with kids in Sao Paulo. Some are street-children, many are neglected; all of them live tough lives. They need trusted adults, like you, to encourage them and help them stay out of trouble with fun projects, football, surf, IT, music and more. It’s not easy; these are among our tougher placements and participants need loads of determination - but the rewards are fantastic and Brazil itself is unforgettably beautiful. What will I do in Brazil? Since 2005 we have worked with an inspirational and well regarded Youth Centre project in Sao Paulo.
Sao Paulo The Children at Risk Centre is in one of the poorer areas on the southern edge of Sao Paulo. Volunteer in Sao Paulo, Brazil - Volunteer Work in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Victoria, Australia. The writing on the wall. Melbourne is the proud capital of street painting with stencils.
Its large, colonial-era walls and labyrinth of back alleys drip with graffiti that is more diverse and original than any other city in the world. Well, that was until a few weeks ago, when preparations for the Commonwealth games brought a tidal wave of grey paint, obliterating years of unique and vibrant culture overnight. This may seem like no great tragedy to readers of the Daily Mail, but Melbourne's graffiti scene is a key factor in its status as the continent's hothouse of creativity and wilful individualism.
Melbourne became a hub of stencilling for reasons no one seems particularly able to explain. Its laid-back atmosphere and sense of isolation most probably have something to do with it. Witty, playful, often angry, the free rein taken by Melbourne's street artists became about much more than just daubing on a wall. Instead, the council doubled its anti-graffiti budget.
