One Resilient Earth

A weekly circle for youth around the world to share openly about climate change, listen, learn from each other and grow resilience together

The Youth Climate Circle provides a virtual space for open-sharing for youth studying environmental topics, young climate activists and/or youth legitimately worried about climate change and environmental degradation. We define 'youth' as young adults, between 18 and 30 years old.The Youth Climate Circle gives a chance to offload some of the emotions felt during the day, which cannot always be talked about with friends and relatives. It provides an opportunity to share openly about all the feelings, emotions and insights that come with the climate crisis, whether exhaustion, frustration, grief, or joy, hope and critical experiences, within a supportive community. The Circle gathers youth from around the world, and provides an opportunity to listen to both similar and different perspectives.Inspired by the practice of Indigenous “talking circles” from North America, the circle builds upon the following principles:• Creating a space for deep listening and being heard• Honoring all voices equally• Telling stories and sharing experiences• Generating mutual understanding, respect and support• Honoring the gifts, knowledge, talents and experiences of each member• Building communityIn practice, the Circle members gather every week for one hour to share stories openly with the group, or just listen in and be there for others to do so. No questions asked. No feedback beyond gratefulness for taking part. The youth-led Climate Circle is facilitated by several hosts including Hanna and Myrina on Sundays and Thursdays every other week:Hanna Jertz (she/her) who holds a coaching degree in transformative coaching (Animas) and is currently pursuing an NLP coaching certificate. She is a Mental Health First Aider (MHFA), yoga teacher and particularly interested in mindfulness, somatic, and climate coaching.Myrina Gkolesi (she/her) is a psychologist, who tries to find her way in the world, having by her side the unconditional love of mother earth. Driven by a deep desire to bring positive change to our world and support other beings in doing so too, she practices mindfulness, nonviolent communication and active participation. She is passionate about environmental and social justice and seeks to create a community of like-minded people to create a more compassionate world. The youth climate circle held on Mondays at 7pm EST/ 1 am CET is hosted by Judith:Judith Strek (she/her) is an environmental educator and activist based in unceded Abenaki land, also known as Burlington, Vermont USA. Having recently graduated from the University of Vermont with a BA in environmental studies, her expertise focuses on the intersection between emotions and our environments. Judith is fascinated with climate justice, emotions, and education and hopes to use her experience to bolster community connection. With several years of peer and youth mentorship under her belt, she hopes to instill a sense of environmental stewardship and personal development in youth. You are welcome to join!
