Those at Parliament Square yesterday were treated to a protest with a difference.

As 31 Greenpeace members climbed onto the roof of the Palace of Westminster to protest about climate change, down on the ground members of the UK Youth Climate Coalition (UKYCC) joined in the protest in their own unique style: a choreographed protest that was the culmination of a three day dance workshop.

Starting off with a lone dancer, the routine developed to incorporate around 150 members of the organisation. The three minute routine took the Greenpeace protestors as much by surprise as it did the passers-by.

Emma Biermann, 23 year old coordinator of UKYCC said: “Young people in the UK are often portrayed as apathetic, but growing numbers are coming together to learn the skills to campaign for change with the help of the UK Youth Climate Coalition.”

“After this event we’re all feeling totally energised and ready to lead the way to a cooler, smarter, low- carbon future.”
