Marie-Cecile Massine is a 17-year-old artist and activist from Berlin Germany. She spent her primary and middle school years as a student of public education in Germany, before moving to Bali to attend the internationally recognised Green School, in which she is currently a senior student.

Marie-Cecile has a very keen eye for detail and this is obvious in the art she produces. She uses her art to express her ideas, humor and to promote causes she is passionate about. Marie-Cecile openly admits that she is someone who loves to learn, she finds a deep interest in other people and their journey. Marie thrives on pushing boundaries and testing new things. She is a curious learner.

Marie-Cecile has a genuine interest in making her community (and the world) greener. She is a very active participant in organising events and raising awareness about ocean conservation and climate change.

Marie is an engaging public speaker who possess the ability to engage an audience through her passion, preparation and by being a living example of the message she wants to convey.

We live in tumultuous times globally. Natural disasters, economic ruin, misbalanced distribution of wealth, poverty, food contamination, and the list goes on. Yes, it can sound grim. Since I can remember, I’ve heard the term “children are our future” but what does that mean and are we actually preparing them for the future? I’ve also heard that we need to listen to the voice of the next generation, young people, but are we?

Marie-Cecile, soon to be graduate of high school, soon to be 18 years old and soon to transition into “the real world” (whatever that is). Marie-Cecile is with me this week to give an insight into being on the cusp of adulthood, share her journey, perspectives, challenges, and hopes for the future.
