Hello fellow Thetis Islanders,
I just wanted to share with you an event I am organizing with the Cowichan Valley Earth Guardians crew.On Sunday June 28th at 2:00PM on the Zoom conferencing platform, six youth climate activists (including myself) will talk on a panel about youth climate activism.
The hope of this event is to unmask the youth behind the movement and share what climate activism has meant to them as they oppose one of the greatest issues of our time. The event also seeks to share with adults the vision youth have for the future and begin to dismantle age-based biases around the topic of climate change. This starts with having intergenerational conversations and creating spaces for youth to represent themselves and their ideas.
