Voluntary Action Lewisham

The Media Skills Centre and other voluntary sector organisations will be launching ‘Save our world’, a series of games designed by young people to educate the public on the issue of climate change.

Media Skills Centre has been working with twenty young people to produce a number of adventure games, quizzes, e-books and simulations on the issue of climate change. The games are designed by the young people and their voices feature in the games.

The launch is an opportunity for the wider community to learn more about climate change in a new way. There will be opportunities to try out the games and to meet the young people who came up with the ideas for the games.

Media Skills Centre is hosting the event to create awareness about how we ALL can achieve a lasting and sustained decrease in emissions of CO2 through-reduced demand for energy, increased energy efficiency, increased use of renewable sources of energy and poverty alleviation.

Representatives from Envirowork Lewisham will also be on hand to offer tips and advice on how everyone can contribute to tackling climate change.

Mr. Olu Ojuroye – the centre programme director – said:

It is our hope that this project achieves its aim of influencing children and families to have a more positive outlook on life and their environment in general by contributing towards reducing their carbon footprint.
