Climate change is high on the agenda just about everywhere, yet all too often the future generation(s) are left out of the discussion. 

Globelink invited Pantopicon to design and facilitate a stimulating learning experience on this future-oriented hot topic. The goal: examine the issues of global warming from the point of view of youth/adolescents, to trigger their imagination and address their ideals instead of trying to deal with problems and restrictions that scientists and politicians are having debates about.  During the period September-December Pantopicon facilitated a few workshops in which we assisted the participants in envisioning 'their' future related to climate change. In order be able to carry out their message one of the participants was given the opportunity to visit the COP-15 Climate Conference in Copenhagen as a member of the official Belgian delegation.
