Youthful & Inclusive Innovations

When speaking of Youth Innovation, it would be remiss of us to not include some ways in which UWC-USA students have been innovating within the Bartos Institute's initiatives.

Our Bartos Fellow, Egzon Sadiku, has been offering a seminar entitled Arts & Activism, which has resulted in the creation of a student-conceptualised 'graffiti'. Also, in the Bartos Institute's weeklong project around Juvenile Justice, UWC-USA students worked with their peers in a New Mexican Detention Center to create an accordion book showcasing their creative responses around the theme of Environments.

Images and video from these innovations can be accessed in the Image Gallery at the top of this page. Click on a particular image to view an enlarged version.

3. Institutional Causes of School Dropout in Rwanda: Perspectives of Community Education Workers This article examined institutional causes of school dropout in Rwanda. Failure to address this would be a stumbling block to the achievement of 2020 goals and beyond. Lived experiences of Community Education Workers (CEWs) were documented in Musanze, Gasabo and Ngororero Districts. The research findings point out that family, community, and school causes are strong and may be interwoven in a way that make it difficult to disentangle in a clear cut manner. From findings, the study recommends that prevention is better than cure. Preventive and integrated policies, programs, strategies, and plans are susceptible of bearing fruits. In short term however, a range of development partners should join hands to tackle root causes of school dropout.
