Abstract

We started the Teach Your Parents project to explain the science behind climate change through comics in a child-friendly manner. The project team was my sister, Nandini Sundram (Grade 6), me, Abhimanyu Sundram (Grade 11) and our father, Sanjay Sundram. School-children after reading the comic created painting based on what they had learnt. Selected paintings were exhibited in an Art gallery in Ottawa. Over 700 children from India and Canada took part and the final exhibition was held from Feb to April 2024. We also exhibited robotics enabled pieces to further inform audiences about climate change.
 The success of the project and its potential to create a social impact is exciting. We want to continue this initiative to reach larger audiences. We see collaboration between young people and adults as a way forward to fight climate change.
