SUMMARY:Call for Stories | Living Legacies: Tales of Culture and Resilience
DESCRIPTION:A call for stories from Asia and the Pacific \n\nHow is climate change changing the way culture is practiced in your community?\nWhat traditions\, places\, skills\, or knowledge are being affected – and how are you adapting?\nAnd how are culture and heritage helping people to respond and build resilience?\n\nUNESCO and ICHCAP invite you to share personal stories that show the connection between culture and climate change – from the challenges communities face and creative solutions they develop. \nYour story can help raise awareness\, inspire action\, and show how culture is not only at risk from climate change\, but also part of the solution. \nWhat stories are we looking for? \nClimate change is transforming the way people live\, celebrate\, remember\, and pass on their culture and heritage. Historic places are increasingly affected by floods\, heat\, fires\, and sea-level rise\, while living heritage – such as rituals\, crafts\, festivals\, and traditional knowledge – changes as environments and seasons shift. At the same time\, communities adapt\, innovate\, and draw on culture as a source of resilience and climate action. \nThrough this call\, UNESCO and ICHCAP seek personal\, experience-based stories that show how culture and climate change are connected in everyday life. Stories may include\, for example: \n\nA traditional festival or ritual that has changed due to extreme weather\nA heritage site or cultural space affected by climate-related disasters\nCultural practices that help communities adapt to environmental change\nTraditional knowledge used to build resilience or support sustainable living\n\nSubmissions should be rooted in your own experience and clearly highlight the challenges climate change poses to culture and/or the ways culture helps people respond and adapt. Selected submissions will be featured in UNESCO and ICHCAP’s awareness campaign on culture and climate action\, to be shared through online platforms and exhibitions. The submitters of selected submissions will receive a Certificate of Participation from the organizers. \nWho can participate? \nWe welcome submissions from community members\, youth and elders\, cultural bearers – anyone with a personal story to share. \nYou do not need to be a climate expert or heritage professional. We are looking for real experiences\, told in your own way. \nWhat can you submit? \nYou may submit one of the following formats: \n\nPhotographs: up to 5 images (JPG / JPEG / PNG\, high resolution)\nA short video (1–3 minutes\, with English subtitle\, audio narration in any language) Each submission must include a written narrative (maximum 300 words\, in English)\, explaining:\nSome information about yourself\nThe background of your work\nWhat it shows about culture and climate change\, adaptation\, or resilience\nWhen and where it takes place Minimal editing is encouraged to keep the work authentic.\n\nAll submissions must be your own. By submitting\, you agree that UNESCO may use selected works for awareness-raising and communication purposes related to its mandate. \nHow to submit \nEmail your submission to: beijing.culture@unesco.org \nDeadline: 15 March 2026 \nPlease include “Culture and Climate Story” in the subject line \nPlease click the link to learn how to submit the application form and read more information about the submission. \nShare on FacebookTweetFollow usSave
