​This webinar is part of the ‘We are not waiting‘ webinar series, you can expect an open conversation with young leaders exploring Webinar: The human side of systems change: peacebuilding, mutual aid and cultural transformation

‘We are not waiting’ is a joint initiative by The 50 Percent and UNESCO-MOST BRIDGES that centres young people aged 14–35 as designers of alternative systems already in motion, showcasing real-world initiatives.

The goal is to produce an open-access anthology of six chapters. This will not be just a collection of essays, but a durable, policy-relevant record of youth-led systems change in practice.

This webinar will be an open conversation with young leaders, delving into three of the six themes the ‘We are not waiting’ anthology explores: how youth are rebuilding fractured communities through everyday acts of peacemaking; the structures of mutual aid and collective care that refuse to replicate dependency; and the power of creative practice, narrative and culture to drive systemic change from the inside out.

Join us for an online conversation with:

  • Sarah Kpoh — an educator, youth climate advocate and disability inclusion leader.
  • Geoffrey Mwangi Kimotho — a Kenyan climate activist who combines art and advocacy, using spoken-word poetry and digital storytelling to bring climate issues to new audiences.
  • Jean-Salman Marre — Strategy Manager at Friendship, a Bangladeshi NGO working with climate-vulnerable communities.

Join us to hear from young changemakers and bring your questions.
