It's Not a Moment, It's a Youth Climate Movement
From Greta Thunberg leading a global collective of youth in striking for our climate every Friday, to Mari Copeny advocating for clean water in her hometown of Flint, Michigan, youth climate activists are taking center stage. What motivates our world’s youth to protect our planet? What are the challenges they continue to face in order to ignite change? Moderated by Jagged Little Pill’s Lauren Patten, join us for this panel of passionate youth environmentalists from around the world who are not afraid to stand up for our planet. Each panelist will explore what it means to be a climate activist in their region of the world and talk about what inspires them to act for the future of our planet. This session will connect us to an international movement of climate action and motivate us to make change in our own communities.
Panel: Youth Climate Activists from around the globe, including Sarah Goody (United States), Anthony Oyakhilome Justice (Nigeria), Maitreya Motel (United States), and Adeena Tahir (Pakistan)
More About Our Video Learning Sessions
At the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic and Broadway Shutdown in 2020, the BGA sought to develop accessible programming that would keep our community connected to each other and the earth. Thus, the #GreenQuarantine Virtual Learning Series began and ended with a great run of 30 sessions led by theatre and environmental industry professionals. Now, you can explore 24 of the sessions on-demand and learn about the many ways to use your art and voice in the sustainable theatre movement!
“These weekly webinars keep me active, engaged, and educated in these topics like I may never have been before. I feel more inspired and capable of making change not just in my life but also on a larger scale thanks to the information and organizations the Green Quarantines have provided.”
