Watoto Day (Children’s Day): 360+ children from over 20 schools across the Lamu archipelago enjoyed a day of ocean-themed learning, creativity, and fun.

Creative Workshops: In the lead-up, 20 youth explored storytelling photography and local filmmakers trained in cinematography, with their powerful work featured at the festival — sparking dialogue and inspiring action for our oceans.
