We at Paint the Change work with a team of filmmakers and digital storytellers to document all our project activities and their impact on the community, inspiring millions more online.

At Paint the Change, we are committed to using public art and creative storytelling to educate young people on climate change and environmental sustainability. Through numerous workshops across Europe, we’ve empowered youth to collaborate with artists in creating public murals that reflect their insights and ideas. In East London, we’ve partnered with local schools and communities to address environmental concerns through impactful public art, fostering awareness and dialogue around these critical issues.

We work closely with local communities across East London to create murals in their neighbourhoods that reflect their unique goals, while collectively fostering a strong sense of community ownership. The murals painted by our team become local landmarks, sparking daily conversations among passersby and encouraging dialogue within the community.

Our public art projects stem from workshops designed and produced with close community participation. They educate and involve young people from different areas about subjects important to the communities, such as diversity, mental health, racism, the right to education, and climate change.

Health Studio East Africa and Paint the Change collaborated to create a series of murals in Nakuru, Kenya, and Busano, Uganda, addressing Covid-19 disinformation. Following community workshops that discussed local myths about the virus, health advisors debunked false information and shared accurate prevention measures. Artists from Uganda and Kenya then created murals reflecting these discussions to promote awareness and combat misinformation.

Thousands of young people in Iran, from the Baha'i religious minority, are barred from higher education because of their beliefs. Paint the Change fights this injustice through creativity and art. Our campaign worked with leading street artists to produce 40 murals around the world, as well as digital media and community workshops, linking different communities of struggle together, to uphold the universal right to education.
