The 6-month, cohort-based program centers around the development of dynamic and multimedia narratives that address the question: How do you envision a desirable climate future in the year 2075? The program gives young people from frontline communities a platform for world-building that leverages the arts and storytelling to explore solutions for adaptation, mitigation, and sustainability at local, regional, and global scales. Proposals are due by January 31st, 2025.
