Students from across Aotearoa who are in year 10 to 13, are invited to participate by creating a character to defend the earth, using nature and the four elements to inspire their designs. This includes everything from where the character lives to special powers and any links it may have to specific places, myths and legends.

Canadian Youth Climate Leaders. From davidsuzuki.org
One of the Earth’s most precious resources are youth leaders from many countries who are mobilizing to vocally share their demands regarding climate change. This diverse group includes Indigenous climate activists, who are rallying and protesting for their very survival and cultural future. “Indigenous” means produced, growing, living, or occurring natively or naturally in a particular region or environments. It also means innate or inborn. Whether one is newly immigrated to a given region or has lived there for generations, being indigenous as a youth climate activist means caring deeply about the future survival of the place, peoples, and species as interdependent aspects of nature.
