The academies are always very enriching and motivating for the children as well as for us. It’s great to see how creative the kids are and what ideas they come up with. I think if we had involved youth and children in the discussions, we would be further along in addressing the climate crisis.

During the moderation of an academy, I empower children and young people to work together and in a network of solidarity for a better world. Only together with solidarity can this fight be won!
