Dirty Protest Theatre are connecting young people in Newport and Rhondda Cynon Taf with young people in the Xingu Indigenous Territory of Central Brazil in the Amazon Basin through their Creative Climate Connections project in partnership with People's Palace Projects.
Climate fears are shared between the two nations, with the young people wanting to change the world, reach politicians and secure a future that they worry will never be theirs.
Throughout the project, the young people are exploring their cultural connections through stories, films and performance art, both online and in person. The project began in October 2021 and will continue to develop beyond COP26.
The multilingual project allows young people in Wales in Wales and Xingu to develop greater knowledge of each other's cultures, as well as an awareness of activism and creativity amongst young people in two culturally distinct areas of South Wales. It is an opportunity for young people to grow confidence in leadership through an international platform, connecting via Welsh, English, Wauja, Portuguese, Kurdish and Turkish.
Dirty Protest Theatre will present this project live at COP26 through the People's Palace Projects Youtube channel below on:
