Event Description

Are you a young person passionate about the planet and eager to make your voice heard? Join us for an inspiring, action-focused workshop designed to open the door to the world of environmental policy. Led by Ruby Free – nature writer, policy officer, and advocate for youth-led change – this interactive session will give you the tools, confidence, and insider knowledge you need to participate meaningfully in environmental decision-making.

Through collaborative activities, real-world policy scenarios, and open discussion, you’ll learn how environmental policies are shaped, who influences them, and how young people can and should play a powerful role in guiding climate and conservation priorities. Ruby will share her own journey into policy work, offering practical advice on getting involved, building your skills, and turning concern into impact.

Whether you’re curious about climate justice, interested in politics, or simply want to help build a fairer, greener future, this workshop is a welcoming space to connect, learn, and take your next step as a changemaker.

What to Expect:

• An accessible introduction to environmental policymaking

• Hands-on activities that explore how policies are formed and make a real-world difference

• Tips for youth advocacy and getting involved locally or nationally

• Opportunities to meet like-minded young people

No prior experience required, just curiosity and passion.

Come learn how your voice can move policy, spark action, and shape the future of our planet

This event is part of Generation Hope, a day of inspiring workshops exploring how creativity, culture and community can help us respond to the climate crisis.
