Sophia Tabibian and Lulu Goulet-Hofsass, were mentored by Bruce Mau during their participation in the Cycle 01 of The World Around´s mentorship initiative, the Young Climate Prize.
Bruce, iconic designer and founder of Massive Change Network, took on the opportunity to help refine and expand their project, Covalence Global, and continues to offer support and guidance following the prize. In the video, Mau emphasizes that design is inherently a community-based practice, and that intergenerational collaboration is key to solving climate-based issues. Activism sometimes isn’t enough, he says, and decided with the mentees that “Actionism” is perhaps a better term for what they’re working towards.
Both Tabibian and Goulet-Hofsass describe how the Young Climate Prize has been invaluable in scaling Covalence and its impact from a local network of community groups to a truly global organization. Tabibian learned from Bruce how to rethink systems in order to become a better leader, while Goulet-Hofsass was able to turn her climate frustration into triumph at expanding their goal of getting more young people involved in the fight to save the environment.
