As part of the Catalyst Initiative led by Climate KIC, we produced a two-year impact film reflecting on the legacy of Climathon across Latin America and West Africa. The film steps back from individual events to explore what has grown over time: local climate-innovation ecosystem, and a new generation of innovators finding their voice and community.

Grounded in interviews and driven by data-led storytelling, the film brings two regions together in a shared narrative of collaboration and measurable climate impact. Participants described the programme as life-changing, and witnessing everyone’s passion for tackling climate challenges at a community level left us deeply inspired.

Notice the use of graphics to amplify the messaging and make best of use of limited footage filmed by the delegates themselves across the world.

We created three language versions (English, French, Spanish) to give the films the widest reach possible.

LATAM Climathon Sustainability:

The EU’s Climate KIC team wanted to capture the remarkable work in seeding sustainability ideas thanks to their Climathons, run across the globe. This one features the LATAM region.

So we sent out a filming brief document to teams across Latin America and West Africa with filming guidelines in order to grab a snapshot of what went on in 27 countries!

As with all user-generated content the material we got back was of mixed quality. So we devised a graphical format and a pacing for the films that soon turned raw amateur footage in to a compelling argument for why people should attend these remarkable events.

“The end result was EXCELLENT! They did a great job at digesting a lot information and content, and working with them was easy and very pleasant. They take the time to really understand what you need and want to achieve.”
