DYEING FOR CHANGE – SHOWCASE

What happens when young people use storytelling and art to explore climate change, environmental issues and water challenges?

As part of Dyeing for Change, participants have gone through storytelling workshops and an art co-creation process, turning their ideas, experiences and perspectives into creative works.

Join Future Forward Development Initiative (FFDI) for a mini showcase where we will explore the stories behind the artworks, discuss the creative process, and share what comes next for the project.

Come connect, listen, and experience the stories through art. 🎨🌱

Happy International Youth Day 💪🏾🥳🤝🏾

"Young people should be at the forefront of global change and innovation. Empowered, they can be key agents for development and peace. If, however, they are left on society's margins, all of us will be impoverished. Let us ensure that all young people have every opportunity to participate fully in the lives of their societies."

"No one is born a good citizen; no nation is born a democracy. Rather, both are processes that continue to evolve over a lifetime. Young people must be included from birth. A society that cuts off from its youth severs its lifeline."
-- Kofi Annan

This, we believe 💯💯

Congratulations to our Youth Engagement Officer Samuel Iffu , who was selected for the prestigious BudgIT Climate Champions Fellowship and has just arrived in Lagos for the official program wrap-up!
