In this event, Farrah El Dibany and Ricky Kej will perform their song “Life-agents of change” seeking to give full meaning to educational action and a commitment to nature protection by calling for respect for the environment and humanity, solidarity and intergenerational responsibility, and raising awareness of the environmental and sustainability challenges we are facing today.

Or watch online.

The performance will be followed by an inter-generational conversation between youth activists, practitioners and representatives from ministries of education, and a call for action “Life-agents of change” inviting young people to engage and consider how their places of learning can change and align with green practices. New resources prepared by the Greening Education Partnership can be referenced in support of this effort. Young people will be invited to submit the results of their considerations to UNESCO in the form of short video clips and written submissions which will be compiled into a campaign that can be presented at COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan in November 2024.

UNESCO believes that it is possible to transform mindsets to achieve momentum to be more ambitious in reconciling people with nature, everywhere on the planet, for right now and for future generations.
