The U.S. Consulate General, Public Affairs Section in Mumbai is seeking proposals from organisations for a programme entitled “Green Heroes Film Workshops & Festival”.
Many Indians are taking action to stop climate change and protect the environment in their neighborhoods and communities, but often their stories go untold. This program will identify and showcase some of these unsung Green Heroes and enable up-and-coming storytellers to share these Green Heroes’ stories with broader audiences.
