Meet #NGFP2024 Fellows Lorna Okeng & Emma Rukundo. Their project “Keepers of the Forest: The Batwa Legacy” highlights the symbiotic relationship between Indigenous communities and nature, emphasizing sustainable practices that can guide global efforts to combat climate change, especially since Africa stores 23% of the world’s carbon in forest biomass.    Focused on the Batwa people, an endangered Indigenous community in Uganda, Lorna and Emmanuel will use interactive storytelling to invite the audience to experience the Batwa's deep connection with the forest, their resilience in the face of adversity, and their historical role as original conservationists. Lorna and Emmanuel are among the Futures Methods from Around the World fellows supported by Humanity United. Learn more about the 2024 cohort and their projects here: https://lnkd.in/dYqb4FeX

The #AFHEG team in collaboration with KeepersXR trained over 50 students at Kampala International University (KIU) in Health Communication. The training focused on addressing antimicrobial resistance (#AMR) and empowering participants with practical skills for effective health advocacy. The sessions included an introduction to AMR, emphasizing its causes, impacts, and prevention strategies. Participants engaged in storytelling activities to learn how to communicate health challenges through relatable, human-centered narratives that highlight solutions and preventative measures. Interactive learning activities, such as the #SuperbugsClash Board Game Kampala Edition, provided hands-on experience in tackling AMR scenarios, while immersive Virtual Reality experiences demonstrated the potential of technology in health education. By the end of the training, participants expressed their readiness to champion health literacy and promote preventative practices within their communities, marking a significant step towards fostering a health-literate society.

Excited to share insights on Leveraging Private and Creative Sector Collaborations to cultivate a lucrative creative sector ecosystem. Featuring contributions from Mfikeyi Makayi and Sarah G. Banda Ortiz. Looking forward to 2025!
