Mission

Voices Unheard: from Pyrenees to Kibera (VU:PK) connects young people from the French Pyrenees and Nairobi’s Kibera to make their voices heard in climate policy. Both regions face recurring floods, droughts, and infrastructure gaps that endanger livelihoods and resilience. The project empowers marginalised youth through research, workshops, and direct policy dialogues with the European Commission, African Union, and local authorities. By gathering lived experiences and transforming them into concrete policy recommendations, it bridges the gap between communities and decision-makers. Through social media campaigns, advocacy events, and a 30-minute documentary. The project builds visibility for youth-led climate action and aims to achieve change at the policy level.
