Codename: Violet

A playful intervention

The Young Coneys were invited by Greenpeace to take part in a top-secret mission: a playful, surprise intervention at a motor industry gala, challenging the sector to rethink its impact on the planet.

 

 

About the project

In collaboration with Greenpeace, the Young Coneys – aged 8–13 – took part in a series of creative sessions exploring the effects of air pollution on young lungs. Together, they devised games, interactions, and playful provocations designed to surprise and challenge guests at a major motor industry gala.

On the night of the event, a team of very junior doctors appeared on the pavement outside, ready to perform impromptu health checks. Armed with stethoscopes, a giant Operation table, and some hard-hitting facts, they delivered an unforgettable diagnosis: it was time to ditch diesel.
