About the Festival

This festival invites people to explore how climate change affects not just the planet, but the inner world of the mind. Rising temperatures, loss of ecosystems, uncertainty about the future, and lived climate shocks are shaping emotions for a whole generation, especially in Africa. Many young people are carrying eco-anxiety, stress, and climate grief without naming it or finding support. Elevate Minds Festival is a grounding annual gathering that brings together art, mental health, climate advocacy, and action. Through storytelling, wellness, games, movement, and conversation, participants move from awareness to healing, and from isolation to collective strength. The event is co-organized by Lost State of Mind and 3Es Experience.
