About the campaign
As we announced earlier this month, Reboot the Future have teamed up with environmentalist Jonathon Porritt to create a new campaign - launching in April with the aim of filling young people with a sense of creativity, optimism and joy, and inspiring them to take action for a better future.
We'll be releasing a set of teaching resources to accompany 5 short films and Jonathon Porritt's new book Rise Up to Reboot the Future.
In his book, Jonathon highlights food and farming as one of the fundamental areas which need to change over the next 5 years in order for us to get a grip on the Climate Emergency. One of the films - Jamal's film - focuses specifically on our relationship with food, and it will be this film which will be previewed during this event.
