Climate Action Youth Summit 2025

Get involved, share ideas, and make a difference in your local community and beyond.

We are delighted to be holding our fourth Climate Action Youth Summit in January 2025. Aimed primarily at 13-25 year olds, this is your chance to engage in thought-provoking discussions, participate in interactive creative workshops and connect with like-minded individuals who share your passion for climate action, culture, and nature.

In partnership with Headgate Theatre, Colchester.

The Climate Action Youth Summit is part of Manifesto For Essex, a multi-form creative platform run by Essex Book Festival for young people living in Essex and beyond to express their ideas about climate action.

The Climate Action Youth Summit will include a Panel Discussion led by Marina Cusi, Artistic Director at Mad, Who? with panellists representing young eco-writers, environmental activists and eco-theatre-makers .

Attendees can also choose to participate in two environmental-themed workshops:

Eco-Podcasting Workshop led by radio producer/presenter Michelle Durant

Eco-Performance Workshop led by theatre director Sofia Bagge

Eco-Scriptwriting led by writer, dramaturg and lecturer Andrew Burton

Eco-Poetry led by artist, activist and theatre-maker Marina Cusi

Free soft drinks and biscuits will be available on arrival.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to take part in creative drop-in workshops during the lunch break. We recommend you bring a nut-free packed lunch.

Places are limited so reserve your place today to avoid disappointment.
