Community Activation
A project created with young Londoners for young Londoners.
What is Climate Calling?
Climate Calling is a good practice example of authentic global development storytelling from a UK perspective. It uses visual design and futures thinking to tell hyperlocal stories about climate change rooted in racial and health justice. Climate Calling is an evolving exhibition co-created with underserved young people in South London. Our curation methods provide visual and narrative storytelling skills-building and platforms to showcase young participants work.
By delving into past, present and future patterns of racism and its interconnectedness with climate breakdown participants create digital content that explores and expresses their personal experiences of climate change, health, and race issues in their boroughs.
Our community activation efforts are made possible in part through the kind support of Impact on Urban Health. Thank you for your support!
Why This Topic? What’s The Problem?
Disproportionately affected by climate-linked health issues and racism, young Black and Brown people face challenges like air and water pollution, limited green space access and racism within healthcare access. Despite their significance, these issues are made invisible by mainstream storytelling about climate change.
