Kenya podcast series episode 6: Kenya institute of puppet theatre

In episode 6 of the Hali Hewa Podcast, we explore how the Kenya Institute of Puppet Theatre (KIPT) is turning puppetry, a playful art form, into a powerful tool for climate advocacy. Guests, Tony Mboyo and Phylemon Odhiambo, share how KIPT uses performance and storytelling to make climate change issues more accessible, relatable, and inspiring for children, youth, and marginalised communities. From captivating shows in villages to interactive performances in schools, KIPT has been part of the Voices for Just Climate Action (VCA) programme, engaging audiences across Kenya and sparking real change. In this episode, we discuss how puppetry makes climate change messages resonate with all ages, hear inspiring community stories, reflect on the role of the arts in climate justice, and explore how you can support creative climate advocacy.
