About this Event

Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet Melati, a well-established activist who has been fighting plastic pollution since the age of 12. Together with her sister Isabel, Melati founded Bye Bye Plastic Bags and successfully campaigned for the ban of plastic bags, packaging, and straws on their island of Bali. She has spoken on world stages such as TED and the UN and has even been selected one of FORBES' Top Ten Most Inspiring Women in the country. Recently, Melati opened for former US President Barack Obama at the Ziggo Dome, and now she is back in the Netherlands to discuss her movement and inspiring film together with us! Don't miss this opportunity to be inspired by one of the world's most influential environmental activists.

During the event, we will be screening Melati's film "Bigger Than Us," which premiered at the 74th Cannes Film Festival in 2021. In the film, Melati goes on a road trip to meet six other young activists across the globe who are working towards a better future. From Malawi to Brazil to Lebanon, these young activists stand up for freedom of speech, the environment, refugee and girls' rights, and the right to education. The film is both hopeful and inspiring, and showcases the power of young people to make a difference in the world.

As a full-time changemaker and movement builder, Melati believes in the power of her generation and is now developing YOUTHTOPIA, which focuses on youth empowerment through short and meaningful peer-to-peer programs. Join us for this special event and be inspired by Melati's story and the stories of other young activists who are making a difference in the world.
