SOCIAL DESIGN ACCELERATOR 2022
Social Design Accelerator in partnership with OneAfricanChild
Foundation for Creative Learning.
June 20th - July 25th
Duration: 6 weeks
The six-week Social Design Accelerator featured youth from secondary schools in Kwara State and Lagos state working on a solution for a challenge in their communities.
One project focused on a peer-fueled education scheme to democratize learning resources, another on providing hygiene education through “squads” of girls, creating homemade sanitary pads and a dispensary to reduce girl absenteeism in school and yet another group focused on a parental entrepreneurship and education program to assist and encourage parents to continue their child’s basic education and into technology.
We took steps to analyze, test and create an action plan as well as support each team with seed funding.
The accelerator featured a cross-cultural learning platform with Dent Education students in Baltimore, Maryland. It concluded with a virtual final pitch with attendees and speakers across the globe in Switzerland, New York, the United Kingdom and Nigeria.
