From the welcome session, I have felt really inspired by all the fantastic projects around the world, the speeches of young leaders, and the voices of adults with many years of experience.

It doesn’t matter where are you from, in the end, you connect with all the people and learn that is possible to start a green/blue change to protect our planet, even from your house and in the pandemic.

As the present and young people we are, it’s time to take advocacy and actions to bring solutions for the environmental problems.
