What is the project aiming to achieve?

Pacific Black Box Inc is currently collaborating with Bougainville Women for Peace and Freedom to run the youth environmental advocacy training forum.

The forum aims to equip the participants with the skills, facilities, resources and support to develop and use audio/visual media as a tool in environmental awareness raising. This will enable young people to express their environmental concerns, particularly in relation to climate change, on a local, national and global level. The forum will train these young people as environmental leaders and youth trainers in their own communities.

Young people from the Carteret Islands will be at the forefront of this project, as their community is soon to be relocated to mainland Bougainville due to sea level rise.
