“AfterPOP” Screening and Discussion : Transform our Cities with Youth

Description:

Whether they are entrepreneurs, mediators, activists… young people are getting involved in tackling climate change in their towns and cities in Africa. However, their voices are often little heard and their actions unknown, due to a lack of legitimacy and resources. This round-table discussion, illustrated by images and personal testimonies, invites us to explore the question of empowering young people and integrating them more systematically into sustainable development projects.
