If you belong to a youth organisation or club there are lots of ways you can get your group involved in the C-Change project.
- Make a film explaining how you feel about climate change or how it will affect your community. Send it in to the Co-operative Young Film Maker’s Festival and have it shown at our special screening of climate change films at the Festival this autumn.
- Make a radio programme for our special 24-hour transmission ‘C-Cast’ which will be taking place in January 2008.
