LEADERS ADVOCATING CHANGE IN AFRICA
Welcome to LACA official website! On this website, you will learn more about our mission statement, Problem statement, proposed solution and Our E-lab challenges. We invite you to join us on this journey of creating a better Africa for all.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
Our mission is to improve arts education and reach by using our skill-based learning approach to provide teachers and students with the necessary training and resources, thereby enhancing the students' creativity.
Our E-Lab Journey
Week 1
Human Centered Design - Through the experiential session called Women of Dadaab, we were introduced to what it means to include a human perspective in our solutions.
Problem Statement
In Zimbabwe, only about 5% of secondary students sat for the O'level examination in arts in 2021. Whereas, according to RCZ, 3 in every 5 students are gifted in one form of art or the other. The unavailability of art classes, materials, and artistically competent teachers exacerbates the issue. How can arts education bolster the number of students sitting for the O'level examination.
Solution
Art on wheels is a mobile art studio. It provides access to materials for artistic creation, including training and mentorship to all Zimbabwe high school students through extra-curricular activities to improve their creative skills.
