Apply now – Youth-led Storytelling for Peace in the Midst of Climate Crisis

ByPALIN TEPTAT

Peace manifests in many forms — and climate resilience is one of them.

Not everyone can clearly read the signals our planet has been sending, nor see how the climate crisis disproportionately affects vulnerable populations.

It’s time for someone to speak up for the Earth and its people.

And you can be that “someone.”

IBHAP Foundation, with support from The Network for Religious and Traditional Peacemakers, the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland, KAICIID Dialogue Centre, Cerita Caravan, Southeast Asian Youth for Humanity (SEA Y4H), and Religions for Peace, Thailand, invites you to be part of the change.

Join the Youth-led Storytelling for Peace in the Midst of Climate Crisis programme and meet young leaders from Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia as we learn together about storytelling, climate resilience, and peace, and foster a collaborative network for climate action.
