"All communities deserve to enjoy the benefits of the clean energy transition, and this unique group of creatives is poised to help spread the word."
So says the executive director of Generation180, a national clean energy nonprofit, in announcing the eight winners of its Climate Cultura fellowship, a new program that trains Latinx creatives as clean energy ambassadors to create fresh content, share local success stories, and inspire action.
The eight winners include comedians, artists, and writers based in Georgia, which has a thriving community of Latin American creatives and where Generation180 has a campaign working to popularize clean energy solutions.
They'll participate in a two-day training to learn from expert speakers on climate, clean energy, and civic engagement, and then workshop creative ideas with one another in a collaborative, "writers room."
Speakers from GALEO Impact Fund and other local organizations will participate.
The project is led by Generation180's Comedian-in-Residence, Esteban Gast, a son of Colombian immigrants who was raised in Puerto Rico and is both an award-winning stand-up comic and experienced educator.
