What would you be having these folks do? And who's going to pay for it?

In 2001, Unilever created the Unilever International Schools Art Project (UISAP) that encouraged children to create an artwork on a theme related to The Unilever Series. The project was very successful and over 135,000 took part in eight years. However, April 2009 saw the end of UISAP and the introduction of a new and exciting art education project called The Unilever Series: turbinegeneration. Produced by Tate and sponsored by Unilever, it is the first online educational partnership that links schools and major galleries on an international level.

Students will share thoughts and ideas inspired by one of the world's biggest contemporary art commissions – The Unilever Series at Tate Modern in London. Each year the new commission will influence the project's theme.
I suppose the could have spent all that money, plus sponsoring Ai Weiwei's installation, on something more useful like killing Somali pirates, or neutering North American White Tailed Deer, but they didn't.
It's the golden rule... whoever puts up the gold, makes the rules.
