It’s been a really crazy ten days. A pretty intense time of lobbying, press releases, meetings, film making, actions, speech writing, banner making amongst other activities. What did we all do on Friday? Our wrap up action, that’s what.
In preparation we painted, we sew, we practised, we inflated, we printed and by 9.30 we were ready (if a little cold). There was a crowd of international media gathering and we got everything in place for the arrival of the European politicians.
Who showed up? There was a selection of ministers from around Europe including from Germany, The U.K, Lithuania, Norway and The Netherlands. Want to see pictures too?
We displayed our beautiful huge banners of the individual messages with pride and showed the ministers around, followed by a presentation of one individual message (with a copy of our demands of course).
The media agency Reuters liked the action so much that they wanted to spread details of us and our action across the world’s media.
With the negotiations continuing here in Poland, hopefully ministers will think of us (and you young people) when they are discussing the international climate deal.
Come on guys, wrap it up!
