IT'S A WRAP! 🌏
KAICIID Asia Programme, together with the มูลนิธิ สกพ. - IBHAP Foundation and พระมหานภันต์ สกพ. - Ven.Napan IBHAP and the The Caravanserai Collective (Cerita Caravan) our week-long training on Dialogue in Action: Strengthening Youth Leadership for Climate Action in Southeast Asia has been one to remeber.
Held in Bangkok and Ayutthaya, Thailand over the last week, we brought together young leaders from across Southeast Asia working at the intersection of climate action, interreligious dialogue, community engagement and social change. 🪴
Through workshops, storytelling sessions, site visits and really fruitful exchanges with local communities and faith-based leaders, we explored how dialogue can strengthen collective responses to the environmental challenges afflicting the region.🙏
With the power of storytelling, we saw the year's training strengthened participants' leadership skills in environmental advocacy while creating opportunities for collaboration between emerging leaders and selected mentors from last year's storytelling training. Together, we explored creative and practical ways to engage community and religious leaders, as well as people of faith, in building more resilient and sustainable communities. 🗣️
We celebrated the stories, experiences and aspirations of these young leaders, highlighting the power of listening, learning across differences and building trust. More importantly, it reaffirmed that meaningful climate action begins with people coming together and working collectively toward solutions rooted in hope, solidarity and mutual understanding.
