Tell Your Climate Story challenged students worldwide to become climate witnesses and creatively express their personal experiences, insights, and perceptions about our changing climate reality. Through the process of imagining, designing, and creating their pieces, students learned about climate impacts in their own backyards and discovered ways they can take action to prevent further climate catastrophes. Their works serve as timely testimonies of what it’s like growing up in the age of climate change. View the insightful new collection of Visual Art, Film, Interactive & Multimedia, Performing Arts, Poetry & Spoken Word, and Creative Writing.

“After learning about litter, global warming, and invasive species last year, I realized that our ignorance has become a huge problem, and I knew I had to do something. I just didn’t know what. When my teacher told me about Bow Seat, I had my answer. It was a way for me to express my concern and send a message to people about ocean pollution in a creative way. We only have one Earth, and it is our job to take good care of it.”
