Making a stand to tackle climate change

Students and staff across NPTC Group of Colleges joined the millions of young people around the world standing up to climate change on Friday.

A series of 30-minute walkout strikes happened in many organisations globally and are just the latest in a series around the world this year inspired by Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg.

Staff and students were encouraged to wear green, whilst the College campuses turned green and even the College website joined in full support of the action.

Students from Afan, Brecon Beacons, Neath and Newtown Colleges created wall art showing why they were supporting the strike and what climate change means to them.
