In April and May, we delivered two screenings of Future Council at Moss Vale Public School and Frensham, reaching a total of 378 students.
Future Council follows the journey of eight young people from across the globe who travel through Europe in a biodiesel-powered yellow bus. Along the way, they engage with major corporations about their environmental impact, challenging the status quo and exploring solutions for a more resilient and sustainable future.
Films like this are essential in engaging with our local youth—showing them not only what they can advocate for, but how they can advocate for the issues that matter most to them.
Both screenings were a great success. Following the film, students had the opportunity to hear from and ask questions of Ruby Rodgers, who is featured in the film. Ruby, a local student, singer, and inspiring young person, joined us as a special guest at both locations to share her experiences during filming and reflect on what the project meant to her.
Students responded enthusiastically to Ruby’s openness and insight. At one screening, Ruby generously signed autographs for the students, mostly hands (no school uniforms accepted!), while at the other, she performed one of her songs, receiving a well-deserved standing ovation.
Our next film event is planned for September 2026 – more details coming soon.
