The younger generations are often dismissed, however I believe it is in youth that creativity flourishes the most. We think outside of the box, so I believe we will be able to produce innovative ideas on environmental justice.

Thus, I believe we can stop the drowning of our voices by collaborating with NGOs that focus on youth empowerment. These organizations are not only advocates for young people, but they also provide the platforms, resources, and networks needed to amplify voices of the youth.

I suggest going step by step, start slowly taking action even before they recognise us. We need to prove our worth, and show how much we can change and help our community. For so long, youth did not have place in decision making, and it is time we change that. However, we must be aware that this change will take some time, especially in parts of the world where change gets slower.

We need to stay focused and persistant until our voices are heard💫

I believe that various methods can be used to make sure that Youth Leaders are actually heard in policy making decisions.

Our Body Language and tone describe our position and character in any conversation. Utilising this can help young people portray themselves as confident individuals who are capable of participating in important decision making processes as they have creative, new solution to bring to the table.

Connections: Creating connections is an extremely helpful extra effort that youths can take to ensure that they are heard. Having a person on the inside, or someone who will support your ideas gives you a sense of confidence to speak up for yourselves, and such confidence is important to convince older people that just because we are young, does not mean that we are reckless.

To show credibility, young people can show some certifications they might have received by participating in different competitions.

Social Media: Young people can use social media to establish themselves as people who are serious and worth listening to, leveraging these platforms to make connections.

How can you position yourselves as knowledgable & credible?

Get close to the policy makers who are easy to interact with and privately share ideas informally

Implicitly introduce the idea to policy makers in a way that would allow them to come up with the idea or support or provide input to our idea giving them agency.

Using evidence to justify and validate our ideas

Raise the awareness of the community to gain their support.

Discuss policies and add ideas indirectly to convince tthe policy makers to include our voice.

Make the idea relevant to them to compel them to modify according to our voice.

Present the ideas with more pros and less cons in a way that would be convincing.

dress the part, play the part (focus on non-verbal communication)

What allies can uyou engage to help amplify your message?

Experts

Community

People with high influence

How can you effectively use media, technology and story telling to make your policy recommended more compelling?

Use of various media

Using storytelling to make the idea relevant, and relatable.

Social media is good because it lets people stay connected and share ideas easily. It can also help spread important news quickly. But it can be bad if it spreads false information or leads to bullying and too much screen time.

it involves recognizing the skills and values of youth, providing them with the necessary tools and opportunities to actively engage and collaborate with society. This empowers them to express their own voices and participate in decision-making processes that impact their communities. Additionally, fostering mentorship programs and creating platforms for dialogue can further enhance their involvement, ensuring that their perspectives shape local initiatives and policies.

I believe that creating a structured proposal and presentation would help in showing our efforts and seriousness to the policymakers. This is due to the organized ideas that is presented which makes it clear for them to understand our dedication. Moreover, using presentations help us in delivering the information directly with the proper choices of words which aids in attracting them to agree with our ideas during the meeting. Thus, it will be easier for us to convince the policymakers of the weight of our proposal and ideas about environmental justice.

I'm Aanyaa from Grade 8 (MYP 3).

I think we can convince the adult policy makers to listen to young people by telling them what our strengths are and how we can fill in the gaps in the policies they create because:

1. Youth are the people who are going to face the consequences of climate change, poverty, and hunger, not the policy makers. We should take part in policy making

2. Youth are much more imaginative than the older adults. We can think of more innovative solutions that also involve lots of new tech

3. We know a lot about new tech and are pioneers of some of them. So we can incorporate them.

4. Youth are great at research and communication.

5. We can connect with other youth across the world which is like connecting with a fourth of the world population. (that's a lot)

Even though these do sound great, it's probably best if youth don't take all decisions because we're still not as responsible and aren't really that aware of a lot of world issues than we should be.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that it is crucial to link key issues and problems affecting youth from all around the world. If there is a problem that we need to address, we need to have examples and stories from multiple sources across the globe. This proves that the issues we bring up are affecting a lot of people meaning it is deemed as more important. This might give us more recognition.

To make adults take youth voices seriously, they must learn about teens' mindsets and that not all of them are empty thoughtfully. And while being in a discussion teens or young people mustn't talk and share their thoughts all the time, they should share their opinions whenever it's the right time to, and not talk about unimportant ideas, and always stick to the point. Also, with the presence of social media these days, more young people should make videos and posts about important issues they face.

As the founder of Heart 4 Animals, which is a youth-led organization that focuses on making a difference in the lives of stray and rescued animals by providing them with essential care, love, and support by giving them food, medicine, and helping them find a forever home. From organizing feeding drives, donation drives, fundraisers, and supporting vaccinations, we aim to ensure every stray animal gets the love and attention they deserve.

I believe youth-led organizations like mine can make a difference in raising awareness and making a difference.

1. Create a petition and gather signatures from adults and conduct surveys to gather data to show how serious the environmental issue is.

2. Approach local experts who are likely to support your idea and request a testimony from them.

3. We can also use social media by creating content/posts to spread awareness and asking friends, relatives, and connections to help repost and to increase the reach of audience.

4. Collaborate with local/international organizations that are focusing on the issue to help support your idea, through their platform and submit evidence to the policymakers to show that the idea is not just based from made up evidence.

5. Working together with the local news can also help reach audiences and promote the idea.

6. Focusing on creating your idea viral through social media platforms should also be a priority as policymakers tend to take action only if a certain case goes viral, especially in countries like Indonesia.

7. We can position ourselves to as knowledgeable and credible contributors by referencing our data and information from experts in the field of the environmental issue.

I believe that focusing on social Media is not a quite efficient way to reach out to Senior/Older Generations as they already don't use much of social media as newer generations do. Therefore in order to leave an impact on them and prove ourselves, I believe that we should start by taking smaller steps and actually achieving something which can vouch for our beliefs, and experiences. This way we can slowly progress our way up to the expectations of the Adults and meet their intellectual and experiential level.

Moreover this can help us gain recognition in the newspapers as well which i believe are very commonly read by the older generations.

Hello my name is Sarah Icho. i wasn't added to a breakroom but i would still like to take part of this activity.

As young people, our voices should be heard, even if we often feel overlooked. One way to address this is by leveraging the power of social media to raise awareness about the issues we care about. Through online platforms, we can create movements, share ideas, and connect with others who share our concerns. Even if some adults don’t take notice at first, other young people might, and collectively, our voices will grow louder until we can’t be ignored.

Another effective approach is to present our ideas through well-researched projects that include data and statistics, demonstrating that we are informed and serious. When our arguments are backed by facts, it becomes harder to dismiss our perspective.

Additionally, collaborating with youth organizations or forming alliances with groups that advocate for change can amplify our efforts. By working together, we can increase our reach and impact. Finally, participating in local government meetings or town halls, and using platforms like podcasts or video blogs, can give us direct access to policymakers, allowing our ideas to enter real-world decision-making spaces.

# data[].attributes.body
When we use some traditional ways to share our thoughts, many people aren't actually able to connect or relate to what we are sharing, and people love getting entertained so we should breakdown our issue that we are advocating for, into smaller and easily relatable messages, and share them in form of musicals, dramas, plays, dances, that are catchy and at the same time share the message. Additionally, most of the youth loves performing arts, that would intrigue more students to join and creates a greater impact on the audience and listeners, because you don't voice out just to share, but for the person to remeber you and touch their hearts.

# data[].attributes.body
In order to let our voice noticed we need to use the social media as this is the most effective way to communicate and let the older know our point of view and make it valid so we can use aur ideas for the future and present, also we need to be known trough conferences, campaigns and more that secure that our ideas can be taken for everybody and let our voice noticed.

This is something that recently went over while studying for my computer science exam and I was coincidentally pondering upon the concept of digital citizenship and how we can use it wisely. So, we could develop proposals on how to teach digital citizenship in schools, ensuring that future generations are not only literate in media and technology but understand its political implications. This approach positions us as a visionary in the political-tech sphere.

I think students and teachers should work together more closely, creating an environment where learning is a shared journey. By encouraging open discussions, asking deeper questions, and collaborating on projects, we can build stronger relationships that make the learning process more dynamic and engaging for everyone and I think students and teachers should collaborate more, not just in the classroom but also through social media. By using platforms to share resources, discuss ideas, and give feedback outside of school hours, we can build stronger connections and make learning more interactive and engaging.

I, as a young environmental activist and the founder of GlobalEarth.Green (www.globalearth.green), I strongly believe that to show everyone that we youngsters are capable of being involved in solving these issues is to create a platform where we can share our ideas and activities that are related to tackling climate change. These ideas/stories can be posted in instagram/YouTube. This will show the world that we youngsters are capable of doin this! These ideas/can be shown to big govt. bodies or funding companies to help increase the reach of the platform/initiative, hence enabling us to be involve in the policy making.

Hi i´m Gabriel,

Older people tend to distrust younger ones because they have a really closed mindset, I think in order to solve this we need to demonstrate what we are capable of in forums such as this one, the amazing opportunity this brings to our future as gen z people is amazing.

Social media use is THE thing in our generation, we know how to better use it than any other group of people, we should take advantage on this in order to better share our ideas.

using social media to tell our story and our purpose and reach out to potential collaborators from around the world. sharing ideas so we can build connections and also make us heard. social media is a great way to attract an audience by using hashtags but also making reels which are trendy and short but also informative. a lot of young people use social media so we can relay our knowledge and experience to others and communicate with each other.

To ensure our message gets across to those in power, A multi pronged approach must be taken. I would recommend starting a social media campaign because even if they ignore me, as democratically elected officials they are held in power by the people they serve.

Furthermore you yourself must be a reputable voice within the community. This can be achieved via involvement within the various technological and social solutions.

Finally, change doesn't have to come from those in power. While it is certainly a good path to take. We live in a world that we can shape ,and so every personal change counts towards our wider goals. This change can be amplified through inspiring others to follow in your stead.

To ensure that the voices of our youth are respected in policy discussions, we must conduct credible research, develop data-driven arguments on youth issues, and share personal experiences that demonstrate how policies affect young people.

We should also engage in organizations, educators, and local community leaders who can support the initiatives I stated above. Moreover, since social media has become significantly widespread, collaborating with influencers who are willing to openly advocate for the same reason, can do so via their social medias, like Instagram and Tik Tok. This helps amplify our message, reaching a broader audience and convincing others to show our strengths and important in policy-related decisions.

Rallying more young creators through social media, research and communication skills will help display the younger youth's strength more.

Additionally, displaying cold hard facts, statistics, numbers which the adults can not go against will also help disprove them.

Being confident, unified, and voicing our suggestions clearly with a unified front is also a great way to convey our ideas.

In conclusion, the MAIN aspect to focus on to be recognized more, is through COLLABORATION. Collaboration through social media, apps such as youtube, tiktok, and communicating with other youthful individuals is the best way to convey our ideas and be taken seriously, so that we can slowly crack the defenses of the adults opposition.

Bryan Iñigo and Camila Pacheco The use of technology is key for the solution of this problem:

Long term solution: By implementing new strategies we may include a QR system that can be scanned and lead the user to a website in which all young voices share their ideas.

Short-term: Taking avantage of social media platforms we may create distinct accounts that foster other country's policies

# data[].attributes.body
I believe as youth, we have to come together. Often not taken seriously, if the youth comes together we can make change. Young people, often influenced by social media as a major platform for communication should take this to their advantage. Spreading their ideas and opinions with people just like themselves causes an amalgamation of ideas; of what we think. What we already use on a daily basis (social media) is our strength, just like adults take their corporate jobs or simply their degrees as a strength; this is ours too. Let's use it. Let's make this happen together.

Technology offers immense benefits, such as increased efficiency, global connectivity, and innovation, but it also presents significant challenges. Privacy concerns, the digital divide, and environmental impacts like e-waste are pressing issues that need to be addressed. Additionally, the rise of automation threatens traditional jobs, while ethical concerns surrounding AI continue to grow. Despite these drawbacks, technology remains essential for solving global problems, from healthcare to climate change. To navigate these complexities, a balance must be struck through proper regulation, education, and a focus on sustainable practices that ensure its responsible use.

# data[].attributes.body
Several modes of communiaction such as social media in todays world, may help combat this issue however not being recognised is also a major constraint, so maybe they can be a more offical approach through documents and campaigns which may also incorporate peoples perspectives and ideologies based on the same. This may add on to the cause and need for such change if more people are influenced and the younger generations can also contribute for it as at the end of the day, they are the real changemakers of the futures.

I understand the feeling of not being heard. However, we need to understand that we are not alone and there is always someone who has the same idea with us. Thus, I think we should collaborate with other people with the same idea as us, whether it is our friends or familes or a social organization. Next, I think using social media to spread awareness is really useful. I think we could set up a specific account on Instagram or Twitter for our cause. Then, by using that account we could send posts and reminders to people out there about environmental awareness.

Building on to all the ideas above, I think that children should be well informed and educated of what's happening around us in order to be able to make decisions and our voice to be heard. Without knowledge, it is difficult to make such decisions.

Moreover, we, or specific chosen students, should have the access to some data regarding issues we are concerned on and some NGO's or organizations so we can have alliances with the ones we are most interested in.

Finally, social media, technology, etc can help us to share our ideas and also there can be a website or a section of the newspaper dedicated to students who are activists so we have a better way of putting forth our ideas.

To amplify the youth voice, it's crucial to partner with established youth advocacy organizations like UNICEF, local NGOs, or national youth councils, as they already have platforms and expertise in policy discussions.

In discussions, we should listen to others, ask good questions, and follow up with policymakers to keep the conversation going. Plus, attending local events and organizing workshops could really help us engage the community and show that we’re serious about these topics.

To position myself as knowledgeable and credible contributors to environmental justice, focus on research and expertise, highlight youth advocacy examples, and emphasize collaborative solutions. Engage with non-profits and NGOs, influential public figures, and media and digital platforms to amplify my message. Use data visualization, narratives, and interactive media to make your policy recommendations more compelling. Utilize infographics, visual presentations, and storytelling to explain complex issues, and share personal stories of how environmental injustices impact youth and future generations. These strategies can make the issue feel more urgent and tangible.

I would say that we can emphasize on the fact that as a youth run body be value individuals and and we take everyone's ideas before we take a collective decision and also that we are the buffing generation that is able to relate to both an older and younger generation so when we promote our organization on social media we won't just use ideas that are valued by the teens but also by adults and use the fact that even adults are engaging with us as proof that even adults engage with us willingly

I believe that using evidence and data can greatly assist in carrying the message of the youth-led organisation across to older policymakers. In addition to the speeches and presentations themselves, the allies partnered with the organisation can add credibility and support to the words of the youth. For instance, innovative companies who have put together initiatives that have sparked discussion in the space of environmental justice can be engaged and their story heard, and obtaining their support for the innovative policies and ideas that the youth organisation thought of.

Moreover, the use of technology and storytelling to carry forward the ideas expressed can be very useful in making one’s voice heard. As an example, it could be possible to model the effects of the recommended policies and changes, predicting scenarios that could happen, with the help of scientists who are willing to support the cause. This could provide older policymakers with a realistic portrayal of the effects of the policies recommended, even though they may not think that the youth organisation has enough experience.
