Youthful Cities

The Youthful Cities Digital Storytelling Lab is a partnership between the British Council, British Council East Africa, City of Coventry Trust, The Space Trust, and the BBC, produced by Harmeet Chagger-Khan (UK) and Nyambura M. Waruingi, Akoia & Company Ltd (Kenya).

Youthful Cities is a creative development programme that started in 2021 and brought together a team of creatives based in Coventry and Nairobi in a cultural and creative skills exchange, culminating in 2022 with interactive and immersive stories designed to inspire change within their cities. 

Youthful Cities was an around the world experience which also included Beirut, Bogota, and Detroit. To see all the projects produced in all the cities, go to: www.coventry2021.co.uk
