Workshop head: Tad Trylski, Great Britain: "For over a century our world has manufactured plastic in vast quantities. This revolutionary material has changed our lives but also polluted our rivers, lakes and seas. It does not degrade. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is one of five giant, spinning vortices of rubbish littering our oceans; in area, 30 times the size of Sweden. We invite you to join us here, from our 'privileged viewpoint' for the story of plastic in our waters, the story of the Kraken - from recklessness to recycling."

One of seven installations during the event Lights in Alingsås 2016 – the theme of the year is Enlightenment. It is based on the 17 Global Goals for Sustainable Development agreed to by 193 world leaders. This installation is inspired by the goal "5 Gender equality".
Workshop head: Sabine De Schutter, Germany: "When I was a child, everything seemed equal. I thought I could do anything and everything. I´ve realized our world isn´t equal at all! I understand why they said not to play football or to go out after dark. My voice isn´t heard equally, I don´t have the same opportunities. I am a woman.
One day I wish to see equal chances and respect for all girls and women. That we feel safe whenever and wherever we go. I wish for a better world!"

Background
On 12 September 2015 hundreds of young people came together at the #YouthSummit in London to raise their voices about the future of their world.
September also sees the largest-ever gathering of world leaders at the United Nations in New York to sign up to new Global Goals that aim to eradicate poverty for good.
The Youth Summit gave young people a chance to get their voices heard on the global issues they care about. They have the power, commitment and energy to make sure the world delivers on promises made in New York.

Brazilian soccer player Marta Vieira da Silva is UN Women Goodwill Ambassador for women and girls in sport. Marta, as she is popularly known, wants to inspire women and girls to challenge stereotypes, overcome barriers and follow their dreams and ambitions, including in the area of sport. An icon and role model for many, Marta is widely regarded as the best female soccer player of all time. This is the sixth year in a row that she has won the Best FIFA Women’s Player award. During her recent visit to UN Women headquarters in New York, Marta spoke about her personal journey, motivation and what she hopes to do as UN Women Goodwill Ambassador.
"I started playing football when I was 7 or 8 years old. I’m from a very small town and at that time no other girls played football in my town. People said football wasn’t for women and my family shouldn’t let me play. They said I wouldn’t make it, that I wasn’t good enough.
As a child, I didn’t really understand why people were so against me playing when I could play it well! I fought back by showing my talent on the pitch.
Today, I want to use my story to empower girls everywhere, to work towards their goal, in whatever area that may be—in sport, in life, in work.
My greatest inspiration was my mother. We came from a humble family; my mum separated from my dad when I was less than a year old and she raised four children on her own. She worked all day, had little time to spend with us, but she never gave up. I found my strength from her to keep going.
Every win is important for me, from the time when I was playing in amateur teams among the boys to the first win as part of the Brazilian national team, and now. I remember when I went back to my town in 2006 after winning the award for the best female player in the world. When I arrived, it was nearly midnight and the whole town was awake, waiting for me. I got into a fireman’s truck and people were waving. That achievement could happen because I hadn’t given up [that] first moment I heard a ‘no’.
Sport changed my life completely. [It] gave me the opportunity to help my family, meet other people, see other countries and experience other cultures. Sport is a tool for empowering girls, because it gives you the opportunity to do what you want and learn to respect the differences between people.
We should invest much more in sport. The greatest challenge for women athletes today is the lack of options they have to play sport, and the lack of investment in sport. They have less support, fewer training options and this makes it more difficult to discover their talent.
For me, it’s a great honour to be a Goodwill Ambassador for UN Women. I am here to use my story to inspire many more girls and women and to create opportunities so that next generation doesn’t have to go through what I did.
My message to girls everywhere in this world: believe in yourself and trust yourself, because if you don’t believe in yourself, no one else will.”

At the #GlobalGoals Summit on Friday, Malala Yousafazi, surrounded by young women from around the world, asked world leaders to promise that every child will have the right to safe, free and quality primary and secondary education.
