THE GREAT IMAGINING AFRICA PODCAST.
Background
The great imagining Africa podcast is an initiative of the great imagining Africa and African visual artists associates that is focusing on extending exchange of ideas and conversation about the planetary and ecological emergency in African schools and communities in Uganda and beyond.
We are building confidence, empathy, and curiosity for young creatives, innovators and educators who think differently from us and have the courage to change our minds towards the planetary and ecological emergency towards our societies through inclusion and diversity.
The podcast is also looking at empowerment of social justice and a paradigm shift in the African curriculum that provides a diverse way of learning within students and communities.
The Idea & Scope
Our idea podcast will focus public engagement and science communication activities that engage public audiences with the excitement, importance and relevance of ecological science or enhance the experience and skills of others to communicate ecology with public audiences with diverse age brackets of children of 7-12 years, teenagers aged 13-18 years, and adults of 18 years and above
Our scope will involve visiting schools and communities to streamline a few initiatives and have conversations with initiators and coordinators. This is projected to happen every once a week from 2oth march and once every day within the earth week.
Videos and photographs about a particular idea and conversation will be recorded and stored for evaluation and future purposes on all our platforms.
