MELATI’S PROJECT ON PEER TO PEER EDUCATION

In BIGGER THAN US Melati warns us : « it is now enough to be inspired. We have to educate each other ». And she means it. Melati has built on everything she has learnt and experienced before and during the film to craft her new project : YOUTHTOPIA, a platform by the youth, for the youth, on activism. Classes, tools, opportunities to connect and to get active from young activists themselves. Learn it all from them. From our knowledge, they are no better teachers.
