In July 2022, Hand2Mouth’s joint U.S. and Ethiopian artistic team was invited to the African Union Headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to lead a select group of African Union Youth Volunteer Corps Fellows from 12+ countries across the African continent. The AU-YVC Fellows deepened their relationships among their working cohort, explored their own cultural and personal history and outlooks and articulated their vision for change in their home countries and communities.

This project, and the documentary film, was supported by the Public Affairs Section at the U.S. Mission to the African Union.
