We invite you to our campaign launch and film première bringing together teachers, young people, story-tellers and one of the UK’s leading environmentalists to ask:

How Will You Reboot the Future?

This April, we are launching our latest campaign and education resources “How Will You Reboot the Future?”, inspiring new conversations on the climate crisis and supporting young people to take action.

The campaign will feature a series of five short films (‘Rise Up’) - following the lives of five young people who, over the next five years, each play a role in rebooting the future. These films were inspired by a book written by Jonathon Porritt, which will be included alongside a set of teaching guides to help you support debate and action in your classrooms.

Please join the first public viewing of the campaign and the Rise Up films, and hear from our panel on how to ignite students’ optimism, and inspire them with positive ways of engaging in climate action ahead of the UN Climate Summit in November.

We will welcome your engagements throughout the event including a live Q&A.
