About The Project
This project was born during the COVID pandemic, following Australia’s Black Summer of 2020.
Beginning as a place for sharing learning on Instagram, the project has evolved to in person and online workshop facilitation, and collaboration with artists and leading experts in the field.
We have held more than 20 events for young people, community groups, academics and sustainability professionals over the last 4 years.
Our focus now, turns to our Archival Campaign. In 2024, we recorded 30 Cornish voices, on their experiences of climate change, access to nature, and messages for the future, collaborating with Right to Roam. Transcribing these recordings, and burning them onto a CD, we have a timestamped archive, for future generations to connect with. We have given the recordings to local artists who have transformed these seemingly mundane facts of life into art. Assembling a time capsule, we are burying this archive for people in 50 years time to uncover.
This is a long-term project with future plans- please contact us if you’d like to get involved.
We continue to hold workshops, speak on panels, and collaborate with likeminded projects into 2026 and beyond.

When I first began exploring the intersection between the climate crises, health and wellbeing impacts, and youth empowerment, it came from a deeply personal place. A need to make sense of the grief, fear, and love for a more-than-human world, in a time of catastrophe. Discovering the language of ecological grief, help me put into words this ache I felt as a young environmentalist. I wanted to create something to show other young people they weren’t alone in these thoughts and feelings, and to offer gentler ways to care for ourselves and the planet.
Over time I have been fortunate enough to spend lots of time helping young people express their ecological emotions, find solidarity, and reconnect with hope. I have both lived experience of these topics, and practice fostering welcoming and inclusive spaces.
