Our voices are among the most powerful tools we have to shape change. From our inner narratives - the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves and the world around us - to the ways we advocate, reach out, and engage in conversation with our surroundings. Expressing ourselves with clarity and care strengthens our relationships with one another, our communities, and our planet. Through this exchange, we experience, understand, and engage with our internal world and external environments in ways that can nurture belonging and sustain the ecosystems—human and more-than-human—that support us. Yet, in an era of rapid technological change, a widening digital divide leaves many coastal communities without the tools to amplify their perspectives or access knowledge beyond their own deep wisdom. Small-scale fishing villages, intimately tied to the rhythms of the ocean, stand on the frontlines of climate change, plastic pollution, overfishing, and industrial expansion. These communities hold invaluable insight, yet their voices are often missing from conversations on adaptation and resilience. Through our edutainment workshops, we invite youth from rural fishing communities into place-based experiences that weave investigation, imagination, and immersion. Grounded in Common Worlds Pedagogies, our approach moves beyond human-centered learning, recognizing that we are entangled with the more-than-human world—shaped by tides, winds, mangroves, fish, and soil. With cameras, storytelling, and creative play, participants practice the art of seeing, expanding their awareness of their kaleidoscopic relationships with place, materials, and nonhuman others. Alongside local partners and schools, we co-create spaces of joy and self-discovery where young people cultivate self-trust, cultural pride, and an embodied sense of interdependence with the land and sea. Change moves at the speed of trust. Inspired by adrienne maree brown's Emergent Strategy, we embrace adaptation, decentralization, and transformative wonder, recognizing that small actions ripple outward in powerful ways. Our workshops slow things down, centering care, curiosity, and immersion to deepen youth’s connection to their home environments. By rekindling a sense of enchantment and belonging, we help young people see their communities not as places to leave, but as living, evolving landscapes where they can root their aspirations, build futures, and co-create regenerative ways of being.
