Extreme Hangout PR & Marketing Intern

​

Extreme Media part of Extreme International

​

Inspired by our love of adventure sports and our passion to protect the planet, EXTREME established The Extreme Hangout in 2021 as a sustainability impact platform to give young people a voice, popularise the climate movement and inspire environmental action. Young and underrepresented people want their voices heard and have little opportunity to participate in formal proceedings. EXTREME made it its mission to give them a seat at the table and deliver a platform where they could share their concerns and opinions. 

 

The Extreme Hangout was launched at COP26 in Glasgow and became a leading fringe event. We took over a repurposed ferry on the River Clyde, close to the main action, where we ran an 11-day youth conference and hub. We had 200 incredible speakers from Bear Grylls to Lily Cole, 6000 visitors and 5 million video impressions.
