Tik Tok further partnered with Crtve Development featuring Greenpeace Africa’s August Maluka, Community Manager, singer-songwriter and poet Busiswa Gqulu, in plans to host a live discussion on climate change and the effects it has on local communities.

“The need for creative partnerships such as this has never been more imperative in the fight for climate justice, particularly on the African continent.

Art and creativity have the power to inspire engagement at the community and policy level, leading to action, change and impact. Through creativity, we can propagate feelings of belonging to a collective community.

This relationship between creativity and belonging is fundamental to taking action and ownership of one’s own life, community, and country. Creativity is a first and necessary step towards social change,” said Dr Okito Wedi, Founder and CEO of Crtve Development.
