Channel description
Inspired by 12-yr old Severn Cullis-Suzuki's speech to the UN in 1992, today’s youth give the speech again in this video compilation, 25 years later!
A generation ago, Severn (on behalf of ECO: Tove Fenger, Michelle Quigg, Vanessa Suttie & Morgan Geisler) gave a 5 min speech at the Rio Earth Summit. She told delegates she was scared for her future & reminded them that their 1st responsibility is to future generations. Today the speech continues to make the rounds on social media.
Why is this speech still relevant? The words are powerful, but the delivery from a child, someone with everything at stake, is the most powerful part.
Let’s continue to amplify this message! We invite kids (about 12 yrs old) to take the template of the old Rio Speech, adjust it if you like & make it your own. Then, film yourself giving the speech. Passion & creativity are encouraged! Groups or classes can participate; make a compilation if you can. And, thank you for continuing to speak truth to power!
