Otesha Project’s cross-Canada cycling tour stops in Calgary
A dream born in Kenya has become a charitable organization of hopeful young people uniting as the Otesha Project. Otesha, which means “reason to dream” in Swahili, was created to mobilize youth to create local and global change through their daily consumer choices. We believe that there are alternatives to our culture of overconsumption, and that each one of us has opportunities to have positive impacts every single day.
The Otesha Project’s education programs and bicycle tours use theatre, multi-media, and storytelling to engage a wide range of audiences, and have reached over 60,000 people to date. Otesha’s presentations focus on re-evaluating our daily choices to reflect the kind of future we’d like to see – rethinking what we really need, conserving resources, and voting with our dollars. We aim to demonstrate the positive effects our everyday choices can have, by living sustainably, changing the world, and having loads of fun–all at the same time!
