Are you a teacher who wants to help students learn by making documentary films? Are you a parent or a guardian who wants to engage young ones around you to make films about the environment and climate change when they are home during the lockdown? If you, then we have a learning opportunity for you! Apply to a three-hour workshop on documentary making basics facilitated by Camera Sika filmmaking mentors who have been working with the British Council and Into Film to teach young people how to make films since 2019.

ABOUT ROAD TO COP26
The UK will host the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow, Scotland on 1-12 November 2021. The summit will bring together heads of states, experts, campaigners, and others to envision and accelerate towards a zero-carbon economy.
British Council with support from the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office Nepal, is creating a campaign, Road to COP26, which aims to strengthen capacities and amplify the voices of those most impacted so that they can engage national and international stakeholders of climate change response in the lead up to COP26.
