My Climate Change Story Master Class
In 2022-2023, Ohai Tonga produced and conducted an engaging "My Climate Change Story Master Class" workshop to build capacity for youth in Fiji, Tonga, and Tuvalu.
The "My Climate Change Story Master Class" taught participants how to create their own video and photographs to show how climate change is impacting their community. Through an engaging series of classes taught by professional photographers/videographers, artists, and international climate change experts, participants learned skills to create a compelling My Climate Change Story video with smartphone technology.
A recording of the virtual Introductory Session and select instructional videos and activities we produced are presented on this page.
