WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUNG PEOPLE ARE GIVEN SPACE TO QUESTION, CHALLENGE AND REIMAGINE?
At Change the Current, BCCN's Palapye Green Team stepped into the space as facilitators of conversations on intergenerational solidarity.
The Youth Climate Justice Lab brought together BIUST students to explore climate change through three interconnected lenses: water justice, gender justice and intergenerational solidarity.
The conversations went beyond “What is the problem?”
Participants were challenged to ask:
Who is affected?
What keeps the problem in place?
What would we change?
And what can we do first?
Working in groups, they identified climate and environmental challenges relevant to Botswana, developed practical solutions and considered who needs to be part of making those solutions possible.
For BCCN, the Palapye Green Team’s role reflects something important: climate action is not only about having conversations it is also about creating spaces where young people can shape those conversations and help move them forward.
