Hold your own Eco-Carnival

This fundraiser is great for schools and youth groups - inspired by Brazil, where carnivals and colourful local festivals have an important role in bringing communities together

Many children in these communities face a range of problems in their lives – poverty, the impact of environmental destruction and
violence.

Carnival time provides respite from these hardships but also the opportunity for local people – children as well as adults – to promote positive messages about how their communities can change.

Show solidarity with children and young people in Brazil by holding your own eco-carnival. Check out our resources for ideas.
