On 15 February students around the UK will be striking to protest against the government’s lack of action on the climate crisis. It’s the first YouthStrike4Climate event in the UK, following successful school strikes in Australia, Belgium, Switzerland and Germany.

We’d like to hear from young people about why they think it’s important to take part in the march. If you’d like to share videos from the march, you can send them to us and we might include them on our Instagram story about the event. You can also share you stories and photos.

How to get in touch with us

Are you a student planning to take part? Would you be interested in contributing to a video report on the day of protest for our Instagram Stories? If so you can fill in the form below or get in touch via WhatsApp by adding the contact +44(0)7495 849246, and we’ll send you more details.

If you’re under 16 you’ll need to get your parents’ permission before you send a response to us. We will get in touch to confirm this with you. If you’re a teacher, do you agree or disagree with the strikes? We’d like to hear from parents too, so please do get in touch if your children are taking part and would like to share their views.
