African Youth Storytelling Contest: The Stories of Africa

This year, we’re changing the dominant narrative on Africa – and we need your help to make it happen.

The Global Landscapes Forum (GLF) and the Youth in Landscapes Initiative (YIL)  are hosting The Stories of Africa, a youth storytelling contest that aims to amplify critical voices from across the African continent.

We’re looking for perspectives from Indigenous Peoples, local communities, pastoralists, women leaders, farmers, and community leaders on a wide range of topics, including but not limited to:

• Food systems and livelihoods

• Land tenure and rights

• Land degradation and restoration

• Youth initiatives

• Women’s leadership
