They Call it Sustainability Conference Video (short)

‘They Call it Sustainability: Financing, localization and other alternative futures for communication for development’ was a conference held on May 15th 2024 at the University of Malawi. It brought together people who had directly participated in the Un/Making CSC research project to share what they had learned, and, through an open call for papers, engaged a wider group of scholars and NGO professionals in debates and reflections on the themes emerging from the research. The programme included an opening talk, three panels of presentations, a drama performance of the 1989 play They Call it Africa, an exhibition, and a closing traditional dance performance. The event aimed to engage in what Freire called ‘political dreaming’ – critically examining our world and fostering a hopeful reimagination of alternative futures.
