We are screening Thank You For The Rain to commemorate Climate and Migrant Justice Day.
The documentary follows Kisilu Musya, a Kenyan farmer who begins filming his daily life to show the real impacts of climate change on his community. Over five years, his story evolves from local struggle to global activism as he journeys to the UN climate talks in Paris. The film captures the personal toll of changing weather patterns while exposing the deep inequalities that shape who is heard (and who is not) in global climate debates. The screening will be followed by a discussion about climate and migrant justice.

Hello. 🍄 I wonder if anyone knows of academics working on international or regional student mobility schemes (supporting short-duration mobility) outside of Europe? (For example, supporting intra-Asian mobilities). Thank you. 🍂
