STORIES 4 CHANGE
Stories 4 Change is a result of collaboration between Oxfam and FOTEA. The programme brings together a group of young makers, photographers, videographers, writers, illustrators and podcasters to explore different mediums and narratives and collaborate to develop projects ready to be pitched and shown to the world. Our tutors for the programme are Lulu Jemimah, Angie Emurwon, Sarah Ijangolet, Lawrence Musoke, Miriam Watsemba, Sindiso Nyoni, Culton Scovia Nakamya, Phoebe Mutetsi, Douglas Dubois Sebamala, Sarah Waiswa and Jonathan Benaiah.Participants in the programme were selected from applicants from all over Uganda, also from underrepresented communities.
We believe their stories matter, and we want young creatives tools and means to tell them better, bigger and louder.

SEE CHANGE - PHOTOGRAPHY MASTERCLASS
Climate change has crucial impacts on our life: today and in the future. It can seem like an issue which is too big or too abstract for people to respond to effectively or to consider in their everyday lives. To help respond to the growing challenges posed by climate change, FOTEA partnered with University of Leeds and GENERATE on the project ‘See Change: Visualising the Urban Climate Crisis’. During the project emerging and established photographers took part in a masterclass to explore new ways of visually representing climate change from different perspectives. By exploring how to tell better stories about the local impacts of climate change in Africa’s urban environments, we aimed to equip visual storytellers with the tools that they needed to raise awareness on these issues, help people understand the climate crisis better, and help them to advocate for change.BOOK PUBLICATION
