During the summer, CYEN hosted a summer intern from the University of Chicago, Sanya Bhartiya, from June 20th – August 18th 2023. During the internship, Sanya worked alongside CYEN members in Barbados to undertake community conversations with youth between the ages of 12-29 to get their perspectives on and awareness of climate change and climate justice, with the ultimate goal of creating and submitting policy briefs to different ministries. Interviews were conducted with youth from secondary schools, youth organizations and organizations affiliated with youth.
