The youth are awake to the reality that a health future for humanity depends on the action we take now to mitigate the effects of climate change and broaden the solutions base that reduces greenhouse gases. Aware of that, Paden Network has seized its closeness to the youth as an opportunity to nurture climate activists that uses the arts to impress upon the powers that be to act on climate.
Zimbabwe’s civic and political space can be freer, more inclusive and tolerant if citizens and other actors demands the same. Paden sees a tolerant democracy as an outcome of non-violent activism that is rooted in the arts. Paden’s thrust is to activate hyper local artist networks that push for democracy and participatory governance at local levels.
Paden subscribes to the notion that broad-based and pro-poor social development occurs when minorities, and the powerless such as women, the disabled, and the youth are involved in development processes. To this end, the organisation will prioritize programs with an explicit strategy that seeks to empower them.
Our continent's future lies in the youth, therefore PaDen Network seeks to empower young people to be architects of the future they want to live in.
