Teens are often thought of as lazy, entitled, and disrespectful but there are so many teens who have been agents of change and our group of teens are on the same page.

This week our Fellows of 13-week global teens fellowship researched one teen change-maker and made a video about them.

Orikalankini is an organization that is changing narratives around Menstruation and sexuality in India through art theatre and dialogue. They run a yearly fellowship for teens where they meet facilitators and their cohort from across the globe, learn concepts like Gender, caste, disability, mental health, menstruation, and make a change while learning!    

This video is about Greta Thunberg who is a Swedish environmental activist.  Greta has publicly spoken and criticized political leaders regarding the climate crisis.
