The climate crisis: how it affects us (e.g., cost of living), the vision of a greener future, showcasing local talent (e.g., sustainable fashion) and highlighting local efforts (e.g., urban green and blue space, the Greenway). We want to allow the public to talk on these issues, and let them tell us, the academics, what they want from us. We want to give a voice to the youth of East Belfast.
