Communicating about climate change through art
Art is considered as one of the most powerful tools of Communication. Many of us still see climate change as an abstract topic. We need to convince individuals to take action on Climate Change; not in the future, NOW! Art, in this context, will help us visualize the problem to people and give them a personal encounter regarding climate change. ENACT has decided to conduct an event to encourage individuals to create awareness about climate change through art. Here’s what you have to do!
1. Pick an issue reflecting the impact of climate change (For Example: Hunger, Biodiversity loss, or erratic rainfall are impacts of climate change.)
OR
How are you tackling the Climate crisis at an individual level? We wish to hear your story of change! (For Example: Have you decided to recycle your clothes? / Have you decided to not fly unless absolutely necessary? )
2. Illustrate/paint this ‘impact/ individual contribution’ creatively to bring awareness about the same.
3. Describe your art in less than 100 words.

Any person above the age of 18 years and living in India is eligible to take part in the event.
There is NO REGISTRATION FEE!
