Young people today are surrounded by many technological gadgets, more than ever before. This project aims to inspire youth on the power of their voice and to guide them into using the tools around them effectively, rather than as a distraction. Encouraging investigation, research problem solving, communication as well as creating networks.
Giving young people a voice
This opportunity gives youth a platform to express themselves. For a sense of community, to raise awareness on nature connection, climate action and most importantly to give youth a chance to express their value for the environment. There are many youth today growing up in urban cities that are cut off from the natural world. This mission aims to give young people a path to share their passion, concerns and creativity to the community. In the hopes of creating positive ripples and raising awareness for nature connection and outdoor education.
Creative project idea in Environmental Journalism & Radio Broadcasting
As a teacher, youth leader or any other educational teaching role. This is the opportunity to create a unique and memorable class project. Introducing young people to journalism, media production, presenting and broadcasting, whilst improving their communication skills and confidence in public speaking.
