Playgrounds, Songs, and Storytelling: Local Learning for Climate Action in Ghana

How do you turn climate research into community action? In this episode, we head to Ghana to explore a vibrant, localized approach to knowledge brokering that blends traditional storytelling, local games, radio, and immersive technologies like virtual reality. Prince Ansah and Valerie Nutakor — innovators at the intersection of climate literacy, education, and cultural expression — share how they use music, card games, poetry, and interactive activities to turn complex science into powerful community narratives. Their work reaches across generations and geographies: from rural women composing climate-themed songs, to students learning through climate-adapted card games and activities, to policymakers experiencing community resilience through virtual reality. It’s a story about democratizing knowledge, amplifying local voices, and designing learning that meets people where they are. Please
