I was delighted to receive my invitations from
both the Director (Tamer Dekel) Inspiration Arts for humanities and the Dean school of
Industrial and Fine Arts- Makerere University.
The conference was to stimulate new creative,
how to tackle Issues, deliver options for new collaborations, establishing net
work with organizations committed to deliver positive social change using Art
as a tool.
Inspiration arts for humanity is built on a foundation of artistic Excellency, social
activism and community engagement while Uganda community Art skill development
and recycling (UCASDR) ) is a program that links Art and Craft to environmental
concerns through recycling skills development and innovation in Uganda.
It also uses Art and Craft to address health issues and also entrepreneurial skills
development to the local communities .
