DESIGN,
INNOVATION AND THE COMMUNITY
As UCASDR our goal is to promote innovation/creative
skills, environmental sustainability, rehabilitation and therapy within
communities in Uganda.
We are privileged to receive a student
“Ssekito Kalule Emmanuel” from College of Engineering Design Art and Technology
(CEDAT) Makerere University to do his research with us.
This student is doing his research for his
final year project “toy making”about how the children art in form of toy making
can contribute to development of the technologies in Uganda hence boosting the
industrial sector development.
He believes that children are the most
creative beings in the world and the right people to approach regarding the
matters of creative thinking.
On 17th Oct. 2015 the researcher
Ssekito Kalule had his workshop with us at Kalerwe Market and the results
were tremendous. The researcher spent the day sharing his art experience with
the community while inspiring the children. Majority of the children made
wonderful toys in form of mobile phones , cars and others respectively while the minority
made charcoal stoves and spoons.
The researcher therefore believes that art
is the exchange of ideas with individuals regardless of their social status and
age.
UCASDR has taught children to express their
ideas without limitation thus the results.
