Have we traded our roots for temporary gains? 'I Sold My Culture' by Ruva Walter challenged us to reflect on the loss of cultural identity and its impact on our environment. Through dance, we rediscover the power of our heritage and the role we play in preserving it.

The rhythm of change begins with us. 'The Drum Sounds for You' by Empologoma Hope Foundation is a powerful call for gender equality and environmental responsibility. Through the beat of the drums, these young women remind us that the future is in our hands.

Even in our individuality, we are never truly alone. 'The Shared Echoes' by Kateregga Umar Naffi and Agaba Mathias Bob explored the deep connections that tie us together, highlighting how our lives influence one another in profound ways.

What an epic performance from an epic performer! ALOYCE MAKONDE. From stage presence to the props. Breathtaking, all the way up 👆

Climental/Climind the Change, performed by Kas Kasozi and Samuel Ibanda🇺🇬, was a powerful exploration of our collective responsibility to nurture a balanced world. This piece emphasized that by giving our best and embracing Ubuntu, we can create a better home, community, and climate.

A massive thank you to Hon Dr Balaam Barugahara Ateenyi. for honouring our invitation as Guest of Honor. We are also deeply grateful to our keynote speakers Dagmar, OWINY hakim, Amelia Mbotto Kyaka, and Cosmos Kalule. Your voices have empowered us in our advocacy for climate action.
