CREATIVE ACTIVISM
Creative Activism [CA] pillar focuses extensively on providing youth with a practical toolkit to design, implement, and manage solution-driven initiatives that are environmentally inclusive and feasible.
Through analyzing and providing practical recommendations on identified problems, the capacities of youth are enhanced to establish creative solutions aimed at improving the well-being of local communities, encouraging innovation, supporting the circular economy, and increasing civic activism.
DYVÓ’s CA pillar prioritizes capacity-building by emphasizing the importance of a socially and environmentally sustainable future. The CA pillar specifically aims to promote design-driven innovation to tackle major local environmental challenges.
