about the things she doing

• founder of Fridays for Future Northern Ireland;

• On 3 March 2020, Ulster Wildlife and its Youth Advocate Our Bright Future launched a campaign called #LearnMoreOutdoors to celebrate World Wildlife Day and Anna joined this movement by showing videos about the advantages of outdoor education and giving her opinion on the matter.

Greta Thunberg

Her motivation:

• In 2019, close to the age of 17, after reading about Greta Thunberg, Fridays For Future, and reports on the environment such as the 2018 IPCC special report, Anna became concerned about the climate emergency believing that the education system is not teaching with enough meaning about the climate crisis.
