Our programmes are designed to encourage creativity and personal development through on-going, structured activities. Each programme uses themed learning to increase the children's awareness of themselves, the environment around them and the world in which they live.

Programme Aims

The programmes are designed to offer on-going activities throughout the year, giving the children something enjoyable to look forward to, while providing them with a structure in which to learn and develop skills.

Each programme will introduce the children to a different area of interest and encourage each child to set themselves goals and achieve small levels of success throughout the course.

Ultimately we are aiming to get the children to think about their future, where they want to go, and how they are going to get there.

Vinny Teaching

Programme Structure

Each programme is divided into 3 ‘terms’ of 8 sessions (a total of 24 distinct sessions). Each session is designed to run for an hour and a half.

The main programmes (Arts, Creative Studies and Sports) are targeted at children, who have completed Primary 5 in the Ugandan school structure (between 12 and 15 years of age).

There can be up to 25 children per class and each child will be required to achieve 80% attendance in order to complete the course.

The programmes currently taught are:

Art

Children learn a range of artistic skills, from basic drawing and painting, to shading and story boarding, with different themes developing over a number of sessions.

Creative Studies

Children are given the opportunity to use their imaginations to create their own stories, characters, events, perform role-plays and read a variety of poems and short stories.

Sports2

Sports

The Sports programme introduces children to eight different sports, where both boys and girls are given the opportunity to compete on an equal level.

Junior Programme

A 'Junior Programme' runs in line with the main programme for younger children (P3 to P5 in Ugandan Schools), combining a mixture of sports, arts and creative studies.
