On Earth Day, we are happy to share some big news for you: our team is growing bigger! 😀
Welcome to Camille, our now Advocacy Project Officer! Follow his upcoming adventure at UNESCO very soon to voice youth’s priorities for the day after tomorrow and “The Future we want” ! 🇺🇳🌿🌏☀️
As part of the French government’s citizens’ engagement platform, we proposed a new question for parliamentary debate. This time we chose to question the government on the possibility of instating a generalised form of recognition for voluntary student activism when it comes to biodiversity and climate change, to be implemented as of the back-to-school period this year. The idea would be to attribute higher academic points to all those students helping to fight climate change and doing good work for the planet 🤗
As we wade through the ongoing health crisis caused by Covid-19, French President Emmanuel Macron announced on 13 April that all academic activity requiring a physical presence will now be postponed until the back-to-school period at the end of the summer. Lockdown measures are having an impact on all kinds of economic, academic and social activity, and this postponement only serves to highlight the importance and value of young people who actively partake in efforts to fight climate change and protect biodiversity all year round ☀️

French children’s TV channel Gulli held its environmental awareness week this January, and to mark the occasion, we were joined by the team from Wazup, one of their programmes! ♻️
As Vivien is keen to point out, “Any item of waste, when carried by the wind, will end up in the ocean at some point”. With this in mind, it’s important to remain vigilant all year round! 💛🐳
