Muna Kalati’s SDG4Kids Animation Contest
Muna Kalati’s SDG4Kids Animation Contest invites animators, storytellers, educators, and creatives across Africa to transform the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into engaging, child-friendly animations. This is an opportunity to inspire change—one story at a time.
📖 About the Contest
Africa’s youth are its greatest asset, with over 60% under the age of 25. However, they are often excluded from global conversations like the SDGs. This contest aims to bridge that gap by inspiring African children and youth for sustainable development.
Theme
Inspiring African Children and Youth for Sustainable Development
The contest seeks outstanding animated stories that inspire, educate, and empower children on topics such as:
- Quality education
- Healthcare
- Gender equality
- Climate action
...and more!
Can your story unlock a child’s imagination and inspire hope for a brighter future? If yes, step up, share your voice, and make a difference!
