We're Just Warming Up National Youth Engagement Network UK

We can't believe it, series 1 of WJWU is done! We thought it would be nice to reflect on the whole experience of creating this platform and what we have learnt from our amazing guests! We also want to show the human side of things as joy in social change is super important, so stick around until the end for what is probably too many bloopers from 6 episodes. 
We would LOVE to hear from you about what you've enjoyed or learnt about the series, how we can improve, or if you'd like to get involved. Follow us on Instagram @justwarminguppod and send us a message!

We can hardly believe that we're already on the fifth (technically) episode of We’re Just Warming Up! 
Eleanor chatted to Destiny from the youth-led campaign Choked-Up about all things youth and climate justice. Then we thought about how best to start and continue these conversations.

We didn't want to keep you waiting too long, so here is a sneak peak at what we have in store for you this month!

The wait is over, after promising this to you at the end of our first episode, we finally had the chance to sit down with Josh and Martin from Equal Aqua Uganda, to discuss their current projects and how they are driven by sustainability.
