with Daniel Onyango

In this episode, I discuss community climate change adaptation and the importance of incorporating the youth voice in decision-making with Daniel Onyango, the founder of The Hope Raisers Initiative. The Hope Raisers Initiative uses arts, culture, and sports to amplify the youth voice in the neighbourhood of Korogocho in Nairobi, Kenya. Through the organization, community members get opportunities to creatively transform public spaces in their neighbourhood whether through music, murals, or matatus. In this episode, you'll learn about: - How their Future Yetu program is breaking down barriers between the public and policymakers - How digital storytelling can be an important tool in addressing climate change - How Hope Raisers leveraged local transportation to gather community insights - Why integrating youth in city-building and climate adaptation initiatives matters - And much more Guest: Daniel Onyango, hoperaisersinitiative.com
