How to start over in the world of changemaking, with Melati Wijsen

How to start over in the world of changemaking, with Melati Wijsen

"We had no idea what the word activism was. It was just doing the right thing, at the right time, for the right reasons." Melati Wijsen was 12-years-old when she helped say “bye bye” to plastic bags in Bali. A decade on, she's channelling that same energy somewhere new: classrooms.

In Season 3, Episode 2 of ‘Climate Humans: The Policy Edition’, Melati tells host Mauricio Porras why this isn’t a pivot; it’s a deepening. They dig into the overlooked realities of youth mobilization, the resilience it demands, and Melati’s vision for the future of the planet and education’s role in that.

Climate Humans is brought to you by HERO, the platform for people-powered climate solutions. Produced by Josie Colter and edited by Ben Beheshty at Studio Goldstar. Hosted by Mauricio Porras.
