Kiramuruzi, Rwanda

Kiramuruzi, Rwanda
Our media project started in August 2008 with a three-week workshop that was conducted in Gatsibo, in the Eastern province of Rwanda. Youths from our community worked together with Plan Rwanda and five other partners from Art, Media and Youth Organizations. There were 35 young people in total, aged 12-18. We were given a forum to discuss issues and changes we want to see in our community through arts and media. Through this project we were able to build our skills in painting, drawing, film, photography and theater. We also improved our debate, communication, teamwork and problem solving skills. We are happy to invite you to visit our community and are also excited for the opportunity to share our challenges, strengths, opinions and culture with youth throughout the world.
