Artistic forms such as soil painting, mural making, indigenous instrument workshop was among the activities that the youth participated.
Activities such as this helped in awareness raising as well as bringing out the creative forms of advocacy among the youth. It gathered perspective and perceived actions that the indigenous youth would want for their future through different art interventions. Murals were presented during the Earth Day celebration.
