The Future Is NOW!

This year’s Emerging Global Leaders Conference honors the defiant, the hopeful, the dreamers, the disruptors, and the unapologetic young people who have had their voices stifled or silenced. All too often, young people are called upon to lead in the future, but young people around the world are reclaiming their time and asserting that the future is NOW.

Communitopia’s Lauren Palamara is excited to be presenting a workshop in the afternoon with student activist Sofia Khatiwada entitled Climate Change and Everyday Sustainability. Students will have the opportunity to learn about the simple science behind climate change, local impacts, and ways they can take action in their own backyards. Designed for students in grades 6-12, this workshop will increase students’ scientific literacy surrounding climate change, increase their motivation to take action on climate change, and provide them with opportunities to ACT immediately!

This workshop is for youth-only. Space is limited!
