In collaboration with Tower Hamlets Council and Somalis for Sustainability (S4S),Kayd Somali Arts and Culture invites you to the Youth Climate Education Workshop. Climate change is one of the defining challenges of our time, disproportionately affecting vulnerable communities, including those in Somalia and across the Horn of Africa. Somali diaspora youth, 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 Youth Climate Education Workshop-designed specifically for Somali diaspora youth (ages 13–19). The initiative combines climate education with cultural engagement, empowering young people 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.
Note: Children under 18 must attend with a parent or guardian
