URBAN
SIERRA LEONE
Dreamtown has been active in Sierra Leone since 2010. Our interventions target fragile urban areas across the cities of Freetown, Makeni, Magburaka, and Koidu.
WORK
motivated by challenges - guided by dreams
action
Our core development approach is space making. In partnership with local grassroots and activist youth we transform slums into inspiring environments which foster creativity, ignite dreams, bring people together and equip young people with knowledge.
research
In partnership with researchers, students and academic institutions we engage in solid data collection. The research we do focus on the state of youth wellbeing in urban slums. We use this knowledge to guide how we work and engage in evidence driven advocacy.
Storytelling
In partnership with multi-media professionals and young local documentarists we develop urban love stories. Through participatory storytelling we investigate what the good city life means to young people. We use these stories to reframe the often negative narratives that dominates our understanding of slums.
