History in making: The voice of a powerful future generation

The Sustainable Hour’s #FridaysForFuture special

What does the youth think are the issues in sustainability and what are their answers to what solutions to the climate crisis would be? Take notice of the new generation, who will become voters in just a few years, and who are fully immerged and engaged in the task of ensuring that humanity will have a livable and climatesafe future.

The Sustainable Hour is on the road, continuing our youth theme with this week’s program coming from Albert Park College (APC) in Melbourne. The program is recorded live from the drillhal at the APC Campus for Year 9 Students with more than 200 students in the audience on Friday 22 March 2019.

The future looks bright when we have the youth like this group speaking out about their concern for the future of our planet. In the mix today is passion and reflections and some practical action that the children and the school are involved with.

In today’s program we hear from several students who are involved in the school’s sustainability programs and groups at APC. We also have a Q&A with the students in the panel answering questions from fellow students.

Click on the player or download the audio file to hear for instance about the school’s DaVinci program and projects that were created due to that program. Listen to an original song composed and performed by Lily, a star in the making. Listen also to Oscars speech about fairness, and Jean-Pierre’s poetry slam.

“Thank you for giving us all this opportunity to share our opinions and our views, and give a platform for us to express ourselves. This has been a really incredible experience for all of us. I’ve certainly never been on a radio show before…”~ Eloisa, Year 11 student at APC
