About Earth Day Dialogues
This Earth Day, we invite young people to participate in a Generation Global video conferences on climate change and share the impacts they have seen in their own communities, as well as the actions they are taking in their surroundings to address this issue. The 60-minute virtual dialogues will be moderated by Generation Global's trained facilitators.

Testimonial
“I learnt about the different ways students have been trying to act on this issue of climate change - the students from Israel were really creative, they shared about how their school incentivised students to recycle, how they had recycling activities, medicine recycling programs and more. The students from India were really creative, they even came up with their own song to sing while recycling. As of far, I haven't taken any action yet, but I sure got a lot of inspiration from other students sharing their ideas.”
