COMING 2024
IT ALL STARTS WITH THE FIRST STEP
RISING UP
Watch Trailer
Over three-quarters of young Australians aged 16-25yrs are concerned about climate change.
But young people feel powerless, aren't taking action and generally have a negative future outlook. Two-thirds of young Australians say climate concerns are having a negative impact on their mental health (Orygen, 2023).
As young people we still have time and the ability to write our future.
It is up to us.
Rising Up is a journey uncovering the human stories of the greatest crises we face & finding solutions we can all do to roll up our sleeves and take action.
Hope lies in action and it all starts with the first step.
