We stress the essentially wordless nature of the work we are doing with children from many different cultures. As we emphasise that artworks provide first steps towards a conversation about how we move towards a good life for everyone.

Our Art & Advocacy in Uganda is centred around @DoughnutEcon as the campus of humanity in the 21st century. We must protect the life supporting system of our planet by measuring both progress and economic growth with use of the creative process.

By recognizing the relevance of arts in education and implementing targeted interventions, we can create inclusive and nurturing learning environments that enable students to thrive amidst adversity.

Incorporating arts and cultural integration into education within Rwamwanja Settlement Camp is essential for addressing the diverse needs arising from refugee students’ personal and cultural values, promoting their psychological well-being, and fostering a sense of identity.
