Re-enchanting the future, keeping hope alive
The climatic, social, and political challenges we face call for us to reinvent our narratives and rekindle hope. Younger generations, often at the forefront, exemplify this drive by exploring multiple forms of activism. Getting involved is not just about taking to the streets; it also means writing, creating, sharing, and imagining other futures. Rethinking modes of mobilisation helps revive our desire to take action and stirs the vision of a fairer, more sustainable world. Creativity becomes a weapon, hope a driving force, and every gesture an opportunity to bring meaning to chaos.

High Tide Don't Hide
Young people across New Zealand join the global climate strike, resolved to bring about real change. From one end of the country to the other, they strive to make policymakers aware of the climate emergency. Yet organising a movement and generating momentum is no easy task; they face political indifference and struggle to have their voices heard. When award-winning poet Aigagaleifili establishes a breakaway strike group, a turning point emerges. At last, these young activists glimpse a path to show the world how the Pacific nations, already facing the devastating impacts of climate disruption, demand recognition.
