TGP and its partner organizations SOM-ACT and Anywaa Survival Organisation (ASO), in Somaliland and Ethiopia respectively, collected various multimedia resources – photos, audio, b-roll, and interviews with activists, government/non-government agency representatives, and residents of Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) and refugee camps – with the intention of:
- teaching students the insidious role of climate change as a threat multiplier to existing inequalities (i.e. instances of climate injustice)
- showing and connecting students with stories not just of despair but of how climate injustice is experienced, fought, and also adapted to.
- grounding students in a critical approach to storytelling that would allow them to consider questions such as: Is there such a thing as apolitical imagery? When does telling someone else’s story become unethical?
These were then developed into a 6-week workshop series for Scottish schools. While in Kenya and Somaliland we also gave media workshops.
Transparency Solutions and the Anywaa Community Association Kenya also helped us to organise our on-site work in Somaliland and Kenya, respectively. Examples of some of the materials collected can be seen below.
