Earth Day Dialogues
This Earth Day, we invite young people to participate in a Generation Global video conference on climate change and share the impacts they have seen in their own communities, as well as the actions they have taken in their own lives.
Earth Day is an annual celebration that honours the achievements of the environmental movement and raises awareness of the need to protect Earths natural resources for future generations. The first Earth Day was held April 22, 1970. Learn more about it and this year's theme, #PlanetvsPlastics, at the Earth Day website.

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.”
