An event to show young people the importance of protecting the planet is taking place next month.

ManSat has teamed up with charity LoveTech to launch a roadshow aimed at youngsters in Year 7 and 8, where they'll act as crew members on a spaceship.

The pupils will be shown short films within a 360 degree immersive screen, which includes an interview with US astronaut Nicole Stott.

The first two sessions are taking place at Ballakermeen High School on Thursday May 11, starting at 5pm and 6pm.
