Hope through the Eyes of Youth: Making a Difference through Stories

In a world often dominated by headlines of environmental crisis and climate change, it's easy to overlook the silver lining: the proactive and visionary efforts of the younger generation.

They aren't just the leaders of tomorrow; they are the changemakers of today. One such young visionary is Arjun Khullar, a dedicated student from UWC who is also a passionate volunteer at the Centre for a Responsible Future (CRF).

For his school project, Arjun embarked on a mission to make a difference, producing a series of three poignant storybooks and a short video. In his documentary entitled Generation 1.5, we witness the awareness of the youth of Singapore regarding environmental issues and their willingness to make a positive change.
