STEM: CLIMATE
This project uses African tales to communicate the urgency around climate change, focusing on African mythologies to communicate environmental messages.
The project gives voice to Stories that expand our understanding, knowledge and experience.
Why African Mythology?
Since ancient times, the African oral storytelling tradition is rooted in the natural world and is woven out of the human experience.
From these stories of intersectionality, we learn the importance of an intricate balance between people and the world around them and the universal need to create worldly order.

A message for you
Our Roots are our values.
To honor our planet is to honor our ancestors and their relationship with their lands, waters, and animals.
Our Branches are symbols of hope and community. Stretching out and reminding us that there is hope and that we should embrace the kind of optimism that allows us to face the complex process of repairing and restoring our planet.
Our Leaves are people, bringing branches to life by acting in ways that sustain the earth, even if a little.
