Anuna De Wever and Kyra Gantois

Anuna De Wever (b. 2001) and Kyra Gantois (b. 1999) are young activists from Mortsel, Belgium, and the initiators of the climate protest in Brussels (2019) where more than 35,000 students joined in. Furthermore, they are the founders of Youth for Climate. They are not going to stop their protests until the political climate policy has been drastically amended. Jeroen Olyslaegers, author of the internationally acclaimed novel WILL, has put their plea into words.
