A group of young Scottish environmentalists are travelling to Switzerland by bus and train to help shape the future of the ground-breaking youth climate movement begun by Swedish schoolgirl Greta Thunberg. Eight Scots aged between ten and 20 are going to Lausanne to take part in a five-day European summit organised by the school strike campaign group Fridays For Future. They will join around 500 like-minded youngsters from 37 countries at the SMILE convention, where they will get together to discuss ideas and plan strategies for getting their message across.
