Organised by The Guardian
Join us for a family-friendly livestreamed event with Eve, a young climate activist and the focus of a new Guardian documentary.
At 9 years old, Eve is committed to standing up for what she believes in - the environment. And she wants you to join her in learning how to start taking steps to stop the climate disaster, no matter how old you are.
The new documentary captures Eve’s journey back to school after moving to one of the oldest off-grid communities in the UK. She discovers the destructive impact of humankind on the natural world and hatches a plan for how to combat it. An embodiment of the complexity of coming to terms with the climate crisis, Eve’s story is a motivating lesson about responsibility.
In a panel discussion chaired by Guardian writer Patrick Barkham, Eve will be joined by her mother and filmmakers Lucy and Joya. With an emphasis on the role of young people in this space, they will be talking about Eve’s experiences living off-grid, how the documentary was created sustainably, and how more young people can start acting to put a stop to climate disaster. You will also have the opportunity to put your questions to Eve, Lucy and Joya in real time.
Watch Eve here (duration 21 minutes).
Suitable for a general audience. We welcome family audiences and young people to join this event, however please note that anyone under the age of 16 must be in the company of a responsible adult for the duration of the live stream.
Running time: 60 minutes
