Updates from the last few days!

Hey everyone!

I hope you are all having a fantastic time at COP, and not getting sick like I am! Or in to any trouble:)

Sorry I have no been able to update before now but the last few days have been really hectic! Friday Michael gave a fantastic presentation as part of a panel on the role of education in climate change, where he presented 'Changing the Game'.

Kai also ran a game at the Youth Arcade while Karsten made a presentation. Alot of people seemed super interested and we got some great feedback.

Saturday was the big demonstration for the 'Global Day of Action' where it was reported that over 100,000 people participated!!! It started out on Parliment Square where a bunch of inspiring speakers took the stage to speak about their personal experiences with climate change. Later everyone marched to the Bella Center....though it was peaceful, it was reported that 900-1000 people were arrested for 3 hours! I personally didn't see this, but can imaginatin the craziness of the situation.

On Sunday I volunteered for EC at the Bright Green Expo, which was a success! We had lots of people interested in the game, which was great. Karsten was filmed for a short narrative about the game, with short clips of the game in action being recorded.

This week is going to be very busy, but please stay tuned for more to come!!!

Best,
Kira
