Groundbreakers youth project
Young people feel increasing levels of anxiety about climate change and inequalities. Enabling them to share ideas with other young people, and helping them find creative solutions to the problems they see in the world around them enables them to channel these feelings in positive ways.
Groundbreakers is an exciting competition across greater Bristol to inspire and equip more young people to take action in their school, college and neighbourhood for climate and social justice, and amplify their work through awards and public recognition.
Groundbreakers Awards
On 30 June 2022, the first Groundbreakers Awards, were held at the Bristol Beacon. The event was organised by the Global Goals Centre, with support from the University of Bristol.
Eight impressive project ideas from young people aged 7 to 25 who live in the Bristol area were rewarded and recognised for positively impacting people and the environment.
The winning projects will be given additional professional help to increase their impact across the city, as well as having their ideas on posters across the city later in the year.
