YRE Student Reporters Attending the Collision from Home Conference 2020

Four of our Young Reporters are excited to be attending the Collision from Home virtual three-day conference starting tomorrow, June 23! Originally a tech conference, Collision from Home in fact features over 450 amazing speakers from a variety of backgrounds talking about a range of relevant topics – including climate change and education.

Martina Mifsud (Malta), Allison Gacad (Canada), Floriane Marié (France) and Reeza Hanselmann (Germany/US) will have to opportunity to attend talks by some of the biggest names in the field of climate change and environmental education, such as Christiana Figueres, the Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change from 2010 to 2016 and whose work resulted in the signing of the Paris Agreement in 2015.

With talks about combatting climate change post-COVID to saving lives with seaweed, Collision from Home is sure to be an enriching and educational experience for our YRE student reporters. Keep an eye on the YRE Exposure site in the next few weeks to read our Young Reporters’ articles about the event!
