Till October 10, those between the ages of 18 and 25 years can submit photographs, GIFs and short videos (up to five seconds long) on the climate themes of migration, resilience, fumes, heat and floods. “We are using the EU Diplomacy Week as an opportunity to create this participatory programme where we’re encouraging young adults to submit their creative responses to these themes,” shares Kamak. 

The shortlisted candidates will also be given the opportunity to be mentored by wildlife photographer and filmmaker Kalyan Varma. “We strongly believe in the concept of mentorship. The idea behind it is that with exposure and interactions with Varma, who has been working in this space for many years, the candidates will not only improve their photography skills, but will also be able to think in terms of climate and other factors important to the environment,” she adds.
