“This project was more than just an experience, it was a milestone in my pursuit of climate justice. This project stretched my mental and creative abilities, and drew me closer to my environment.” - Patience

Patience’s event Poetry, Music and Nature: A Fusion of Arts and Activism brought together over 80 attendees at Rekta Park and Gardens in Jos, Nigeria. Hosted by Yakzking, the event featured music by Jikus John and poetry performances by Asiibii, Sosy, Gking and SparrowTalkz.

Patience was interviewed on Jay 101.9 FM, Jos, to publicise the project and main event., the recording was shared live on Facebook and later on TikTok,

The project included two student workshops in Jos, Nigeria - at Treasure Field College and Infant Jesus Academy - each engaging around 50 students and their teachers. The sessions had a strong impact, with some students later joining the Jos Green community in Plateau State.

Previous PARDICOLOR Creative Arts Fund Asibi Akwa, aka Asiibii, was a facilitator at the student workshops and performer at the main event.
