I did not expect to start working as soon as I arrived in Colombia... but what a nice surprise when I received a response from the CLIC crew of Bogota to set up a meeting together on the 4th of February. I had a really nice time with Laura, Andrea, Daniela and Anna this evening. Their motivation to try to make of CLIC the most representative youth movement of Latin America and the Caribbean's against climate change is remarkable and their expectations for the COP 21 are high.
CLIC es el movimiento de jóvenes latinoamericanos y caribeños frente al cambio climático. More than an association, CLIC is a network. Its members constantly intend to gather more and more people from countries of Latin America and the Caribbean's to share their projects and confront their points of view. They essentially use digital medias to mobilize the youth and promote ideas, and it is highly effective.
CLIC is a valuable tool to communicate on positive environmental initiatives in Colombia and to "bring" the Colombian youth to the COP 21 in Paris at the end of the year. In addition, the 4 girls and their CLICmates plan to organize a COP in MyCity in Bogota.
Laura, Andrea, Daniela and Anna gave me the chance to see for the first time how promising the Colombian youth is in its engagement against climate change. More was to come, and more is to come !
