In collaboration with Tower Hamlets Council and Somalis for Sustainability (S4S),Kayd Somali Arts and Culture invites you to the Climate Education Workshop. Climate change is one of the defining challenges of our time, disproportionately affecting vulnerable communities, including those in the region and across the Horn of Africa. Somali diaspora, who often navigate both cultural heritage and global citizenship, are uniquely positioned to become advocates for climate awareness and action. However, many lack tailored and contextual educational opportunities that not only bridge climate science, cultural identity, and community action, but also speak to their unique social existence as Somalis.
This project seeks to address this gap by developing an interactive Climate Education Workshop-designed as an initiative that combines climate education with cultural engagement, empowering the community to understand the crisis, contextualise its local and global impacts, and envision their role in climate action.
We hopefully want people to walk away “thinking globally, yet acting locally” when it comes to climate change.
