They’ve gone dark: Afghans who helped the U.S. military, trained as American-style journalists and rode the wave of women heading to higher education are destroying the diplomas, transcripts and résumés that prove how they built civil society in the country that the U.S. has left behind.
PHOTOS: Bali students create, cover, critique Conference of Youth summit in Morocco
Marrakech, MOROCCO — Students from Green School in Bali, Indonesia, are attending and covering the Conference of Youth at the COP22 climate change summit in Marrakech:
Members of GS Green Generation, a Green School program that focuses on environmental activism and journalism, networked, performed flash mobs and set up a booth to describe Green School initiatives including Bye Bye Plastic Bags, a campaign that succeeded in persuading Bali to outlaw plastic bags as of 2018, and BioBus, a waste-oil recycling program.
Students collected signatures for a petition seeking access to the so-called “Green Zone” public space at the “Conference of Parties” summit that begins Nov. 8, created and marched in a puppet parade, and also drew attention to food waste and packaging (photo at left).
