" I believe that narratives can change the world and that the way we tell narratives about climate change has a direct impact on how future generations will be able to live. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: What They Didn't Teach Us
What They Didn't Teach Us is a documentary that explores the ways in which indigenous knowledge systems (specifically Ryuakyuan) can be lost and reclaimed and how they can represent a valuable perspective in finding solutions for marine conservation. Young change makers that need to get support for their projects as the documentary will be screened at an event we are organizing, hosting experts, leaders, governmental officials and mainly young activists/ passionate people about marine conservation
