FYI Episode 149
FYI

On this week’s FYI:
We hear from a young campaigner on why she wants an elephant released from a zoo in the USA and we have a report from Cameroon where rainforests are disappearing, which is harming both humans and animals. Plus, we speak to the stars of Home Sweet Home Alone.
Next week on FYI: For Your Info:
We have a report from a young activist in Canada where climate change is happening right now, and we meet two boys who have come together to make a music video celebrating their differences. Plus, we speak to the stars of A Boy Called Christmas on the red carpet.
Watch six films by six young climate activists from six different continents, here. The films, made with Sky Kids, deliver a powerful message about how climate change is already having an impact on their lives, as world leaders gather in Glasgow for COP26.
All resources needed are provided to set up these 30-minute extra-curricular clubs, with no preparation needed by the teachers who run them. There are three simple steps to every FYI News Club.
