With less than a month to prepare for what may be the biggest global climate strike action to date - scheduled for Friday, 20 September - 350 Africa and HoneyBush Communications will host its first-ever Youth Artivism Workshop, at Community House in Salt River on Saturday from 9am to 4pm.
Through the workshop - which seeks to raise awareness about climate change - facilitators will demonstrate the use of art as a medium for reflection on how to address these issues.
The event will also include an outdoor mural painting initiative at Community House led by street artist Prefix 66, as well as a pop-up film festival on Water Justice, hosted by the Athlone Cultural Hub.
These activities will run concurrently to the break-away group sessions.
In addition to this, a DJ will also host an open-mic session - themed around ‘Songs for the Earth’ - for children to create and perform songs and poetry.
The public is requested to bring any recyclable material to Community House, prior to the event, for use on the day.
