Every young person (0-19) should experience the world beyond the classroom as an essential part of learning and personal development whatever their age, ability or circumstances.” Chris Beardshaw

In today’s culture there is a huge emphasis on quick fixes, fast paced lives, and an educational system that has little focus on developing one’s creative problem solving, emotional well being, and critical thinking skills. Our children are taught that success is measured by the size of your house or how much money you make in a year.  In a society where our children are bombarded with various forms of technology, advertisements and media, there is a gross disconnect from nature and our place in it. Our world seems to be dominated by Facebook and other social media, and we have forgotten how to truly connect with one another in building together, as building with 'litoyi' demands.Its about community and working together.

SCHOOL PROJECTS AND PRESENTATIONS

​

Our school program is an outside learning schools enrichment program that provides sustainable living and environmental friendly projects for schools, with the aim of supporting the out-side classroom,recycling and cultural preservation of UshagoStyle building skills providing high quality experiences for all young people and youth and helping them understand and understand and preserve African -Kenyan cultural inheritance. .

​

Our programs are learning that links knowledge, inquiry, and action to help students build a healthy future for themselves, their communities and the planet. Our goals for this program, are that it will encourage, inspire and empower young people through direct participation to:

​

​

give children an opportunity to see proper mud homes in Kenya understand that nature has provided human beings with in terms of natural resources

 

understand what "natural resources‟ are and which of these resources have been used by people around the world in building and making other items like….furniture, ovens, beds, cooking pots, toys, sitting stools, etc…

 

understand the flexibility of mud and ways in which it can be used today in their lives like creating their own toys, building playhouses, little tables, sitting stools, houses for their pets... and its mud FUN!

 

understand the rich African history of building using mud/clay

 

understand the process of building houses and other structures and furniture found in the home

 

gain valuable information and understanding on mud houses, beyond the stereotypical 'mud' hut fantasy.

 

develop a natural inclination to build with mud, which is applicable to real life like houses for pets (rabbits, chicks, dogs), playhouses, benches, walls, gazebo‟s.

 

discover there are alternate ways of living, and building without using harmful manufactured materials.

We design our workshops to capture the enthusiasm of every young person and ensure everyone achieves their full potential .We believe building that mud is the ultimate in creative and inclusive education and young people love mud!!!!. Activities are tailored to the age group and the class teacher or tutor will always receive an outline of what the children would over for the morning or the day.
