An initiative of Collective of urban culture actors in Yoff
Overview of the project
Climate change affects every country and every continent, and impacts lives. The ‘hip-hop for climate change’ programme is an initiative that aims to take urgent action by raising people’s awareness through rap lyrics, graphitisations and panels (with specific themes). We discussed environmental issues with a view to finding a remedy or mitigating the harmful effects of climate change. We also had to create murals denouncing actions against the environment.
This project aims to raise awareness of environmental issues through urban culture.
