Our last post, Youth Real Action on Climate Change, summarized the Youth for Climate Camp (YFCC) event last weekend in Bali.
The annual YFCC, a collaboration between The Climate Reality Project Indonesia and its partners began in 2011. Students come from all over Indonesia for specialized experiential training focusing on achieving an understanding of climate change, followed by workshops on how to engage communities in climate change actions, and a showcase of actions on the ground. Currently there are more than 1000 YFCC alumni from all over Indonesia.
During the Youth for Climate Camp in Bali participants had the opportunity to listen to YFCC alumni shared inspiring experiences of Actions on the Ground to address climate change.
In this blog post we share alumni activities that will surely motivate more students to join existing movements or to initiate climate change actions based on their interests and capabilities.
Mangrove for Love

Balitural Soaps
Balitural Soap Collection is the brainchild of 4DEM Student Company founded by high school students of SMK 4 Denpasar, Bali. The student company produced soap bar, liquid soap and hotel soap made from fruits harvested by Balinese farmers such as grapes, strawberries, and dragon fruits. These are not rotten fruits but those rejected by beverage companies for several reasons including size and quality.
Salmanita Rizki Aatila Gautama is the President of 4 DEM Student Company who attended YFCC in 2015. She passionately explained the company’s vision to become an established business entity which excels in manufacturing natural skin care products as well as empowering local farmers by providing income and support to grow source materials for the products.
