Today, Saturday, September 26, 2026, the youth creative competition "Green'Ta Créa" is taking place in Kairouan, Tunisia. The event, aimed at young people between 18 and 35 years old, will be held at the local youth center from 3 pm to 6 pm. This competition is part of the "Green'Ta" awareness campaign, launched by the "Inclusive and Participatory Climate Action in Tunisian Municipalities" project.
The "Green'Ta Créa" competition focuses on climate change issues affecting the region, such as water scarcity, drought, heat, agriculture, and soil degradation. Participants are encouraged to express their views on these topics in a creative way through various forms of art, including theater, dance, slam poetry, or short video production. The competition aims to promote climate awareness and encourage young people to take action.
The "Green'Ta" campaign is implemented by the International Center for Local Development and Good Governance (CILG-VNG International) in partnership with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) and with support from Global Affairs Canada (AMC). The initiative also collaborates with the Tunisian Ministries of Interior and Environment.
The competition provides a platform for young people to express their concerns and ideas on climate change, promoting innovative and creative solutions. By participating in this event, young people can contribute to raising awareness about climate issues and developing strategies to mitigate their impact.
The "Green'Ta Créa" competition is part of a broader effort to promote climate awareness and action in Tunisia. Recently, a plastic waste sorting facility was announced in Hammam Sousse as part of a Mediterranean project. Additionally, the University of Sousse has launched the LABWISE project to support innovation in schools and encourage scientific research.
Other initiatives aimed at promoting entrepreneurship and environmental awareness have been launched in Tunisia. For example, a free training program on entrepreneurship has been announced in Kasserine, and a decision has been made to allocate two state-owned plots of land in Manouba for a regional and local private company's projects.
The "Green'Ta Créa" competition is an opportunity for young people in Kairouan to make their voices heard on climate change issues. By expressing their views in a creative way, participants can contribute to promoting climate awareness and encouraging action in their community.
