We want to start bringing together Compass Youth activists interested in climate change, so after our successful workshop SWaP your Story, you told us you wanted to hold politicians to account on this issue and get together with other activists to make your voice heard - that's why we're joining the Wave!
JOIN THE WAVE
Compass Youth are campaigning on Young People and the Recession. But we know this isn't just an economic crisis, it's an environmental one too. But let's stop agonising and start organising. Saving the environment saves you money - swap your clothes with friends rather than buy those made from sweat shops. Fighting climate change is exciting and successful - swoop a power station and you too can stop it pumping out dirty coal like at Kingsnorth.

Drop outs or start ups? Next generation social entrepreneurs
The more there will be people losing their jobs, the more there will be people with more time and less money.
What can young people do with their time and energy if they've got no job to go to? How can they spend their time more creatively? Can young people out of work be the next generation of social entrepreneurs?
We don't know...That's why we want you to come and tell us what ideas we should campaign on to tackle youth unemployment. That's why we want you to come to the first of a series of sessions focused on different ways young people out of work can develop their skills.
As well as being able to have your say in shaping our priority campaign for 2010, you'll be able to hear from an amazing trio of social entrepreneurs, David Floyd (Social Spider), Peter Ptashko (Young UnLtd) and Amisha Ghadiali (Amisha/The Hub) who'll share their stories.

ARE YOU READY FOR THE WAVE?
On 5th December we're going to see The Wave: the UK's biggest ever climate demonstration, 2 days before the most important climate meeting ever, begins in Copenhagen.
The Wave is organised by Stop Climate Chaos, a huge coalition of organisations that are all mobilising their members, and will bring together people from all walks of life, including people that don't normally go on marches.
I'm trying to get as many people as possible to the Wave, because I see this as the best opportunity we've ever had to bring all those people that care about climate change together.
If we get a really impressive number of people out on the streets we can show not only the UK government, but also the UK public, how big this movement is and how many people want the sort of radical changes we'll need to stop climate chaos. I'll see you there on the 5th!
