There will be a seed potting station where you can learn how to care for plants and take home your own pot and seeds, as well as a climate trail for children and families to follow clues and complete the challenge.

A food court will be available throughout the day, offering a variety of freshly made dishes.

The exhibition features letters from children and communities across the Global South, including Indonesia, Nigeria and Bangladesh, and many more, sharing how decisions made here in the UK and the impacts of climate change are affecting their lives. It invites us to see the climate crisis from their perspective and consider what we can do locally.

A spokesperson for Ealing Friends of the Earth said, "Climate change isn't something happening far away to other people. Communities in the Global South are living it now, and our choices here are part of the reason why. We want people to come, listen, and think about what they can do."

Olivia, an Ealing resident, said: “As someone who is half Indonesian, this exhibition is personal to me. The demand for palm oil in the UK is linked to fires destroying forests in Borneo, Papua and Sumatra. Forests that are home to orangutans, rich biodiversity, and communities who have lived there for generations. One of the letters in the exhibition really brought that home for me. I’d like people in Ealing to see that the things we buy here can have a real impact somewhere else.”

The exhibition and activities continue until 5pm on 1 October. The building is fully accessible with lift access. Please dress modestly in accordance with the venue’s guidelines.

The exhibition is a project by Zero Hour, the campaign group behind the Climate and Nature Bill, and Muslims Declare, a young organisation that was born out of a friendship between a small group of Muslims who are concerned that the world leaders are putting communities at risk by failing to act swiftly on climate change.The exhibition has visited mosques, churches, universities, schools, community centres and events in several cities across the UK.

Ealing Friends of the Earth have obtained a copy of the exhibition. It was recently on display at Ealing Central Library and we plan to tour it around a number of locations within the borough. It can next be seen at Questors Theatre from Friday 22nd May until after the Community Festival on the weekend of 30th and 31st May.
