Groter dan ik
Start story
Produced for a school assignment, this song quickly gained traction as one of the protest songs for the Dutch climate movement. It’s a song about the climate crisis, our vulnerability in it, and our responsibility to it.
Goal
With this song Froukje draws attention to our collective future. The climate crisis that looms over us is bigger than us all, but we shouldn’t let that stop us from individually doing our best. She tells us that we all can and have to make changes to lessen our impact on the planet.
Target audience(s)
1. Young people hyper-concerned about the climate crisis 2. Young people who feel like they cannot do anything about the climate crisis
Main activities
1. Make them aware that there are truly a lot of hands to help tackle the climate crisis 2. Encourage them to take responsibility as an individual without succumbing to the pressure
Team
Dutch singer-songwriter FROUKJE
Quote
Things are really burning. We have to extinguish it, before all of it has burnt away. If we do it in time, some beautiful bits will still remain, because fire is incredibly destructive.

Froukje is concerned about the climate crisis but struggles with either parking this concern as something too big or engaging with it. The song documents this struggle and decides: the issue is huge, but not too big if we all do our part. ‘Groter dan ik’ helps create the emotional energy necessary for talking to your peers, engaging in climate action or taking steps to reduce your footprint (Empowering).
