The next day a small group of us returned to participate with the
Youth Delegation in what was meant to be the final meeting of the
conference. However because negotiations had stalled and a crisis had
arisen the conference had been extended, and the atmosphere was
extremely tense. We were witness to the Japanese Environment minister
trying to flee the press and cameras. Wiro was almost lost in the
crush of cameras and boom mikes as he tried to speak to the minster.
He was unsuccessful that time but a little later he met the British
Environment minister, Mr Benn, and spoke with him. We all joined in
the Youth action demanding a breakthrough on the talks and listened to
Mr Benn give a speech. The need for a breakthrough was urgent, the
major powers were stalling the talks, but the people for whom global
warming is a real presence, people who are loosing their homes and
their livelihoods needed action and support from others and we lent
our voices to the call.

Hi, my name is sara. Im the girl in the picture and im going to tell you my experience and what happened on that exact moment. It was very hot that moment but all students managed to smile and sing while tons of cameras were flashing towards them. We held a performance for the environment minister of Germany. It was very fun and we werent shy because we sang alot of times in the building of the unfccc. I had a very good time and I hope our singing and posters helped and inspired most of the people that have intensions of saving the planet.
thank you, Sara
