Background

XR Youth began in February 2019, out of a need to create a platform within XR and the wider world for the young persons voice. The youth of today are often told that their future matters but what the current system fails to realise is that the youth have a voice of their own.

Something crucial we understand is that there are young people within XR but this does not necessarily make you an XR Youth. If you are in XR Youth, you are in it because you see and know the integral part that youth play in bringing about change and you understand that the youth voice needs to be centre to all conversations in relation to climate justice.
