Ms Prachi Agrawal:

In my presentation, I talked about living through an age where so many things are happening all at once. There is climate change, war and a global pandemic. It is overwhelming. If we narrow it down, climate change is one of the most important issues to this generation. We have seen school strikes and people on the street saying what needs to be done in rural areas to amplify marginalised voices. We then talk about social media and younger children of 11 or 12 years going on to social media apps such as Instagram and the apps completely changing their view on the world and how they perceive themselves. A lot of things are detrimental to this education but there is also a flip side to it in that climate change has taught us so much about the environment and the world we live in and how we can change it. Social media is an amazing invention. It has taught me a lot about opportunities around me and what I am interested in. Flipping these issues and turning them into positives could definitely help.
