I attended the 5th Annual International Youth Leadership Summit from Thursday to Saturday which was hosted by Earth Eco.
The summit was mainly focused on the conservation of our oceans and to how to save 30% of our oceans by 2030. There were over 400 people who attended from 44 countries. There were many sessions on different topics such as Environmental Advocacy, Science Communication and Leadership and Skill Building which were lead by some amazing speakers, one of them being the National Geographic explorer, Paul Rose.
I am at a loss for words to try describe how much of an impact this summit was on me, I have never felt so supported and motivated to help save our Earth. I have learnt so much more than just conservation of our ocean, I have learnt how to be a better leader for the Treverton EarthCare group and how to communicate and raise awareness about the Climate crisis more effectively.
This was such an honor for me to attend and I felt quite emotional when it ended to be honest. I would like to thank Mrs Snow and Mrs Beddy for giving me this opportunity and their support.

Six little girls from age 4 to 10 joined us at the Equestrian Centre to learn about ponies. The aim of these mornings is to create an interest in ponies and to showcase the Equestrian Centre. With the help of two horsey moms, college riders and a teacher, great fun was had by all. We focused on safety around ponies, learning parts of the pony (sticky labels were used to label the pony body parts), basic brushing and how to feed treats. We coloured in horsey pictures and ended with a ride around the stable yard. Scrumptious muffins and juice were provided to fill hungry tummies and a super fun morning sent tired out children home filled with excitement. Moms and Dads got to chat amongst themselves over a cuppa and start new friendships. We hope to draw parents in to assist with running the fun days, be it pouring coffee, holding a pony to be labelled or leading a pony around the Yard. Next month we will add further activities, such as grooming and tack so that the littlies can learn more about loving ponies and what riding is all about. We welcome preschool and prep children to join in the fun and hope to gear them up towards learning riding skills and being able to take part in the Treverton Pony Theory modules on offer on a Wednesday afternoon.
