Standing Up to Injustice
Some people want to become leaders. Others end up as leaders due to circumstances.
In this story, people in a town in Bosnia and Herzegovina learned an important decision had been made without the proper public input, and decided to do something about it.
Do you know someone who stood up to more powerful people because she or he felt it was the right thing to do? Describe what happened, and what that person did.
Seeing a story like this, one good move is to learn more about the people who made the video. What can you learn about the Goldman Environmental Prize?
