Celebrating

Look Again

CYR’s first Ambassadorship Module was delivered by Look Again founder, Ruth Davey.

Using smartphones, participants learnt to reimagine and perceive their world anew by using their fingers or a cardboard frame through which to ‘look again’ at ordinary things around them.

This process trains the mind to slow down and see things from a different perspective. It brings awe into the everyday.

We research and report on innovations in inner work across the globe, collect case studies, and explore responses to the impacts of the climate crisis on young people that shift the narrative beyond mental health, wellbeing, and mindfulness

Our Works

We are activating a global movement of resilient, agile young climate leaders.

Our Community

We deliver capacity-building programs that nourish and engage the inner qualities that make good leaders: courage, compassion, peace, and imagination.

Programs

We collect and share resources for inner-led change, acknowledging context and culture and leveraging our diversity.

Reach Out

Contrasts of Nature and Humanity

I see the fire of resilience burning slowly, yet still alive. Though harmful, it clears waste. Green plants thrive in the concrete jungle, showing nature’s will to live. Art on the wall calms, even as some still dump waste, ignoring others.

Samuel Omare
Nairobi, Kenya

Desert Flower

The beauty of the ordinary. I feel conscious of the beauty of the mundane like my curtains which I haven’t seen until after the session with Ruth.

Sumayya Jaeh Iliyasu
Kaduna, Nigeria

Crown of Thorns, Crown of Sky

A verdant sentinel rises, its waxy leaves, plump and vibrant, reaching skyward. The sturdy, textured branches, possibly thorny and gnarled, suggest a resilience born of time and elemental exposure. Hints of new growth, tender.

Asif Bin Alam Seum
Dhaka, Bangladesh

More than meets the eye

Amid pollution and waste, resilience thrives as communities rise to reclaim value from discarded textiles. This image reminds me that it is a call for justice, circularity and action in the face of fashion’s wasteful system.

Janet Chemitei
Nairobi, Kenya

Yellow Celebration

My heart is filled with Curiosity moved by the smallness of the chrysalis and the greatness it holds. Its tiny “freckles” made me feel Connected & giving it so much meaning made realize it was my way of Celebrating the life pulsing before my eyes.

Roberta da Silveira Moraes
Curitiba, Brasil

ListenEven Concrete Dream of Kindness

Ugly graffiti on old walls: all I saw from the bus every day. Yesterday, I walked instead. I read it: If we loved the way we hate, how beautiful would it be? For the first time, I paused. And just like that, the city and something in me shifted.

Jui Ambani
Rome, Italy

Rhythm of life

These traditional items from a cultural festival I attended last weekend remind me that resilience is not only about pushing forward but also about remembering where we come from and why I am who I am.

Maureen Gikonyo
Nairobi, Kenya

Sea of Green

This image is a reminder to look closely at all of the life around us – the intricate details, textures, and patterns that remind us we are a part of something much bigger than ourselves. Feels like Tangerine meditation by Thich Nhat Hanh in action.

Shannon Ball
Denver, United States

Chimney

Curiosity – I wondered what possible pressures (physical, mental or otherwise) necessitated the building of a chimney, knowing the very hot climate prevalent in Nigeria. And I hoped it wasn’t colonisation-induced inferiority complex.

Sonia Ugwunna
Lagos, Nigeria

Breathing in Bosque Los Pinos

When I was in the Look Again session, I was in Bogotá, Colombia after a difficult semester at law school. This picture reminds me that beyond the fog, there is beauty, and it will not always break when you reach the peak. Patience is key.

Xonzy Gaddis
Champaign, United States

Against All Olds: The plant growing on a balcony

When i look at this image, I see survival and growth in unexpected places. It tells the story of pushing beyond limits, finding sunlight and moisture even when the walls are high. Being hopeful and resilient through anything life throws at you.

Temwanani Mwase
Lilongwe, Malawi

Mountain as Mirror

The mountains have always felt like home to me. As a mountaineer, I’ve learned that mountains don’t rush, but they endure. They hold silence without emptiness. That stillness, that groundedness, has shaped how I move through the world.

Riza Annisa Anggraeni
Bandung, Indonesia

Stream of consciousness

This image is very much in-the-moment, a stream in the evening. It was there with a calming presence, and I wanted to capture it without judgment.

Zach Schmitt
Ithaca, United States

Republic Square on a Sunday

It captured a moment where I felt happy and grateful for being back home after many years abroad. To go to the Republic Square on Sundays, one of the very few open-air public spaces we have in Belem, that is safe to walk without worries.

Jadh Azulay
Belem, Brazil

Sunny Day

I feel warm and nostalgic. I like the way the light hits everything in the frame. The bright colors remind me of summer.

Mirriam Nkosi
Blantyre, Malawi

"KEYS TO MY HEART"

I took a picture of my house keys. When I look at this image, I see simplicity. After the session, I started noticing even the simplest things around me that I had never noticed before. I feel more present. I feel more inspired to live in the moment.

Ian Gakunyi
Kutus, Kenya

Entangled in pink

Getting lost and entangled in beautiful but unhelpful things is a real risk in life, and it can be incredibly hard to find your way back to anything that resembles a path when that happens.

Christine Nikander
The Hague, Netherlands

Quiet Rebellion

A glimpse of my living room wall where my art collage speaks to mental health, injustice, and connection. It holds space for human impotence, grief, resistance, and resilience. We say walls have ears, but this one listens.

Hajar Chams Eddine
Rabat, Morocco

A Tree for the Sun

A tree was cut to install solar panels. The photo shows the trade-off between protecting nature and advancing renewable energy. It reminds us to look again at what we gain and what we lose.

Adan Ibrahim Muse
Mogadishu, Somalia

We have failed humanity

When I look at this photo, I think about our failure to stop the genocide against the Palestinians, our moral responsibility to speak up, and the hypocrisy of states and systems. Mainly, I think of futures lost. And it breaks my heart.

Hanieh Khosroshahi
Toronto, Canada

The sky beneath the clouds

Even when the sky is full of dark, rainy clouds, the light behind them reminds us that the sun hasn’t gone away, it’s just hidden for a while. That soft glow gives hope, showing that tough times don’t last forever.

Utkarsh Saija
Ahmedabad, India

Carry on

When we had to choose something to focus on and capture from a new perspective, I looked to my side and chose something I carry every day but often overlook. Now, I understand the real importance of the little things.

Joao Mayotto
New York, Estados Unidos

What we see and what we miss

We’ve normalized lifeless spaces, desks, fake walls, and screens. But a quick break on the office roof reminded me: nature is still out there. Sometimes, it just takes looking up to reconnect with something real, even for a moment.

Joshua Rosero
Quito, Ecuador

Cracked Silence

I took this photo during my recent fieldwork trip. Scientifically, it represents a site of interest. However, I see the scars of the earth, cracked from thirst and stress from humans. Despite all, the ground speaks of resilience.

Beatrice Ogbuagu
Vermillion, United States

Mula sa Loob Palabas (From Within to Outside)

How can a snail climb and claim this leaf forever?
What I captured in this photo is a reflection of possibilities and the wonderful impact it offers when we look inward and let go of our outward dreams (the universe).

Wyn Marie Gallo
Siargao Island, Philippines

Thrissur Round - Ceramic Wall Piece

I made this ceramic wall piece in 2022, as I picked up pottery. The model is that of Thrissur town, which was designed around a temple ground, and hence the round(ish) shape. The photo reminds me of the deep connection I have with my city.

Ashik Krishnan
Thrissur, India

Underneath My Productivity

It kind of makes me sad. It reminds me of the parts of life that people dont see. I might look productive but sometimes it is just my shadow taking steps on my behalf.

Sinethemba Mtshali
Pretoria, South Africa

Childhood Connection

This photo, taken in 2007, is of my 8-year-old self with my childhood best friend and pet, Dusty. He was a poodle-weiner dog mix and lived until 2020. I feel a sense of sadness, somberness, and happiness when reminiscing about the photo.

Justin Langan
Winnipeg, Canada

Whorls

The image brings me to the power of sight for mindfulness, and how, through focus, I could see new patterns on a desk I’ve been using daily for the past 5 years.

Ayomide Olude
Lagos, Nigeria

EcoTruth: Youth Voices Against Misinformation

I feel confused by the post. Friends and family have mixed views. My school and social media share both facts and false info. National media is split. Globally, experts confirm climate change is real. I’ll fact-check before reacting.

Sonia Rahmani
Medenine, Tunisia

A New Chapter

This is an image of storage jars for the kitchen. To me, this signifies the beginning of a new adventure – my partner and I are getting married next year, and these storage jars are the first gift we’ve been blessed with for our new journey together.

Maxine Govender
Durban, South Africa

Framed in the (W)hole

A recycled paper-making experiment – using old journals – got eaten by the same puppy framed in the (w)hole of these snapshots, capturing child-like innocence & our collaborative acts of ritual destruction in co-creative discovery!

Khokhoi (mary alinney villacastin)
Bantayan, Philippines

Globe

When looking at this image, the image was staring right back at me. I felt like a complete stranger in my own home.

John Jay Eluwa Iji
Abuja, Nigeria

Pinch of sun, Sea of hope

Love and Hope

Asantewaa Rahmat Aboagye
Kumasi, Ghana

In nature

I feel grateful to live so near to such amazing natural spaces in the Irish countryside and to be reminded of how essential being connected to nature is in the fight for climate justice.

Amy O'Brien
Cork, Ireland

Badge in meetingroom

I didn’t notice the picture in the meeting room until I looked again around the room with/after Courage and Curiosity.

Nico Spreng
Nassenfels, Germany

Human Activity or Remains?

What did humanity turn into – to disrespect Nature – to believe that their actions in places far from the eye or urban places would not affect them. What kind of society are we building?

Abdo Nassar
Beirut, Lebanon

Dreamscape

Calm, Curiosity, and Care.

Ritaj Kalaskar
Pondicherry, India

Live session Look Again

My first session of the Climate Youth Resilience Program 2025, themed “Look Again,” encouraged us to see familiar things with fresh eyes. It sparked reflection, curiosity, and a deeper understanding of climate issues.

Josue Willian Alwyn
Lospalos, Timor-Leste

Petals

I was drawn to these petals because they are not symmetrical, and they all look different from each other. It made me feel curious and reflect on my own need to appear “perfect”.

Sophina Huggan
Warwick, United Kingdom

Connections and Coming Back

I never realized we had an artwork of trees inside our mostly wooden house. Like an act of veneration… or honoring of the ancient lives that give us shelter.

Tiara Samson
Davao, Philippines

Humble Malawian Young Man

I always feel happy that one day I will achieve my goals, am confident and working hard.

Jonas Fadweck
Mulanje, Malawi

Breakthrough to life

Most of the time, I find myself emotional when I remember this photo; it was my first time interacting with people after a crisis.

Alex Mbiti
Nairobi, Kenya

The smiling Scar: Held by Earth, Forgotten by Man

Beneath an ancient oak, a faded scar grins silently, a relic of old battles between human ambition and nature’s quiet defiance.

Constance Zungu
Newcastle, South Africa

Solar Champion

It tells the story of a changemaker, someone standing tall not for attention but for intention. There is warmth behind the expression, a subtle fire that says – “I am here to build, not to boast”.

Mubarak Ibrahim
Kano, Nigeria

Hidden parrots

When I took this photo, I was thinking about capturing the coconut tree. I pressed the button. When I looked back at the place, I saw that the tree was full of green parrots, as If It were adorned with little emeralds.

Thauany Silva Lisboa
Caetité, Brasil

Remember, remember wonder my love.

This image is a reminder to breathe in wonder of the world as an antidote to aches of the heart. When I allow myself to enter into the image, my mind is eased and my heart lightened.

Monique Rodgers
LONDON, United Kingdom

Hope and strength.

What comes to my mind when I look at this picture is hope and courage. Being in a region where the is an ongoing conflict and sporadic shooting almost every day, and also daily kidnappings, the picture gives me hope and courage that in the end peace is priceless.

Ako Carlos
Bamenda, Cameroon
