LCMC Explores Collaboration Potential with IYCS for Climate Storytelling Project
By Ms. Teresia Muia
In a recent development geared towards enhancing climate resilience among children and youth from diverse religious backgrounds , Loyola center for Media and Communications (LCMC) has embarked on exploratory discussions with The International Young Catholic Student (IYCS). The aim is to investigate potential collaboration opportunities on the IYCS’ climate storytelling project.
At the inaugural partner inception meeting held at Loyola House, various organizations and associations, including CYNESA and the Interreligious Council of Kenya, convened to discuss the possibility of collaboration. While no formal partnership has been established yet, the meeting served as a platform for LCMC to explore how they could contribute to the project.
Should a collaboration materialize, LCMC stands to gain several benefits. First, it would provide an opportunity to extend their reach and engage with a broader audience, thereby amplifying their impact on climate issues. Secondly, collaboration would enable LCMC to leverage the expertise and resources of other organizations involved, leading to more robust and effective solutions. Lastly, partnering with IYCS would facilitate the empowerment of youth voices, ensuring that their perspectives and ideas are central to the project’s objective, which is totally in line with LCMC’S goal of powering young peoples’ resilience in a digital world.
As discussions progress, LCMC remains committed to exploring avenues for collaboration with IYCS, with the shared goal of building climate resilience among children and youth. The outcome of these deliberations holds significant potential for advancing environmental stewardship within diverse religious communities.
