I am a part of the inaugural cohort of 11 Fellows that represent 10 countries around the world. My project told the story of a youth Indigenous activist and her journey studying abroad, which gave her a more holistic understanding of the climate crisis, while raising complex questions of identity and belonging.Over six months, each Fellow will create a piece of narrative work (short film, photo essay, long article, podcast etc.) about gender and environmental justice in their community. Through their storytelling, we will create a diverse and multi-layered body of knowledge about how the drivers and impacts of climate change intersect with girls’ education and gender equity. We will also highlight the inventive and courageous ways that girls are tackling the effects of climate change in vulnerable communities worldwide. Show less
