Conservation Arts focuses on enabling youth in rural and urban communities to develop skills and competencies of incorporating cultural and artistic platforms in environmental management and socio-economic wellbeing. We seek to enhance the voice of youth on climate change and climate justice, plastic waste management, biodiversity conservation, deforestation, gender equality and the environment, sustainable nutrition and overall environmental sustainability. We envision youth voices become more prominent in formal climate negotiations and in national and global environmental strategies formulation and implementation. Particularly, Conservation Arts seeks to build the understanding of relevant policies at both global and local levels, role of art in environmental advocacy, environmental education approaches, art creation and public engagement. Therefore, Conservation Arts facilitates:
- Needs assessment/research/publications
- Development of training content
- Public speaking in conferences, symposiums
- Art creation and promotion
