Alongside fascinating mentors and leaders, including rapper Lady Leshurr, documentary filmmaker Jack Harries, and with visionary speaker Andy Middleton, you’ll explore some of the things you can personally do to activate positive change.


You’ll then make a ‘Stand for Humanity’ pledge with activist Yazzie Min, and consider the importance of self-care and technology in climate activism.

Learning from the expertise of climate activist and documentary maker Jack Harries, you’ll look at the small steps you can take if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the climate crisis.
