Making real change Happen during unprecedented times is what Education Africa was faced with in 2020, where everyone had to experience the unknown. Despite the difficulties, we stayed true to our motto, which is to Educate • Equip • Empower. At Education Africa, we pride ourselves in offering opportunities to disadvantaged Africans, and this is no different when it comes to our Marimba Project. The Education Africa Marimba Educator Programme offers upskilling workshops that are accessible to all our educators in our Marimba Hubs. We also offer 40-hour workshops to train new Marimba Educators interested in our Marimba Hub programme.
In March, we completed the Education Africa 40-hour Marimba workshop offered to new and existing Marimba Educators. We are proud to report that a record number of 52 participants took part! These educators were from 13 different schools/centres across 4 provinces and out of the 52 educators participating 16 had never played music before - it was a pleasure to see their confidence grow through the duration of the week! The week-long workshop also created the opportunity for our interns to participate. Many of the educators were trained in anticipation of starting new hubs, and we can't wait to make it a reality!
