Community and youth film projects

The project and accompanying grassroots documentary 'Roots of Brent' were created to give young people (aged 8-18) in the area a platform to articulate their thoughts on climate change, tackle climate inequality, and take control of the narrative regarding their environmental future.

This Ain't Normal is an exciting, youth-led climate film project. The project and accompanying grassroots documentary were created to give young people (aged 8-18) in the area a platform to articulate their thoughts on climate change, tackle climate inequality, and take control of the narrative regarding their environmental future.

The Faces of Climate Change Competition and project, launched over the summer, invited Brent residents of all ages to submit photos of what climate change looks like to them, and the stories behind their photographs.

Out of all the entries, 10 winners were selected by a panel and these photographs were featured in the exhibition and documentary film.

Faces of Climate Change celebrates communities, from all backgrounds and walks of life, and shines a spotlight on the brilliant work they are all already doing to tackle climate change in Brent.

Faces of Climate Change is a global initiative that was first showcased at COP27, but Brent is the first London borough to have taken this to local communities in the UK.
