Cocudi Center in collaboration with African Studies Gallery are facilitating an exchange program between המחלקה לעיצוב קרמי וזכוכית בצלאל Ceramics and Glass Department Bezalel and Makerere Art Kampala.
The program allows exchange of technical and scholarly knowledge, while sensitizing people to unfamiliar culture in an equal and collaborative setting.

Thus allowing social and personal empowerment and socio-economic and cultural development.

Our friends at NALA are hiring!

The chess kits have reached their destination in Hoima! A month long project of two המחלקה לעיצוב קרמי וזכוכית בצלאל Ceramics and Glass Department Bezalel interns with the support of Dotan Hameiri from SBC International and with the partnership of Makerere Art Kampala and African Studies Gallery for the children of Robert Katende Initiative, has resulted in these beautiful chess kits for the children to practice and play. The power of design with local materials and skills, turned into an educational tool for so many children.
We are inspired!
