This is Dr. Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots program which started in Tanzania and encourages young people to identify issues in their communities and take action. All about empowering kids to bring about change. Anyone can enroll their class, and even request a JGI speaker for their school so thought it might be worth a look!

Film description:
“They are farmers, chemists, architects, doctors, retailers and bankers. They are also “architects of change” – people searching for and applying innovative solutions to the dangers that threaten our future. Far from being ecological or political militants, they are above all entrepreneurs who believe in creative capitalism to boost social, economic and environmental wealth. Meet them in the new season of Architects of Change.”
