Overview
The project starts from a simple observation: young people are among the most exposed to climate disruption, but they are also among the best placed to invent other stories, other forms of expression and other ways of acting.

What the project sets in motion
- A regional music competition to surface voices and messages coming from youth.
- A creative caravan and a solar-powered mobile studio in northern Kenya.
- Concerts, exhibitions and dissemination campaigns to widen the reach of the work.

Partners and next steps
The project notably relies on the Centre for Training and Research in the Arid and Semi-Arid Land (CETRAD) and the Wyss Academy for Nature. Its challenge is to bridge artistic expression, climate awareness and the circulation of youth voices.
Next step
If this project resonates with you, let us give it more ground.
Mélanzé works best with concrete relays: a residency, targeted support, distribution, a network connection or a financial contribution.
