20 Sep Teaching 100 young climate activists in Manchester how to be craftivists
We have always been big fans of UKYCC which was set up by a small group of young people passionate about climate justice and determined to get other young people to help them make a positive change whilst there is still time.
They contacted us this year to deliver a workshop to 100 of their fellow young climate activists at their Manchester Conference: Powershift. Immediately we knew we wanted to get them to get involved in our Don’t Blow It craftivism online pharmacy canada project and link it to their fight for climate justice. They will be in Manchester at the time of the Conservative Party Conference.
The workshop is Saturday 8th October and they will join 1000 other young people to march on the streets of Manchester asking for climate justice. We can’t wait to see 100 of those marchers waving their hankies and then hand delivering their handmade hanky petitions to their MPs back in their constituencies the following weeks.
