The Spanish Agency for International Cooperation (AECID) in collaboration with Urunwa Arts Studio, founded by artist, Chidimma Urunwa Ikegwuonu, with funding from AECID’s ACERCA Programme will hold an art workshop to train and empower teenagers from conflict-affected areas in Nigeria and the ECOWAS region.
The workshop to hold May 22, 2023 to May 25, 2023 at the Photocarrefour Gallery is targeted at promoting sustainable development goals (SDGs) in Nigeria via harnessing the transformative power of the arts through the training and empowerment of conflict-affected teenagers. The work will help them overcome obstacles and create a brighter future while safeguarding against radicalization in the ECOWAS region.
Workshop participants of the workshop have the opportunity to engage in various artistic activities promoting creativity, self-expression and resilience. Through the medium of arts and crafts, the workshop aims to prevent radicalization and foster peace and unity across affected communities.
