🌱 How do we make learning last in the creative world? At Mswitch, we’re reshaping creative education by focusing on sustainable learning pathways that go beyond traditional methods. Our recent Co-Creative Residency is a perfect example. Over just four weeks, five remarkable artists—two musicians, two visual artists, and a painter—moved from initial concepts to profound, emotion-filled creations that captured their unique stories. Through mentorship, collaborative projects, and structured learning, these creators not only completed compelling works but discovered how to keep growing well after the program ends. They explored themes from raw emotion to joy, connecting their craft with both personal and shared experiences. Mentorship by practicing professionals offered invaluable insights, while a mix of guided sessions and self-directed creation time encouraged them to refine their art in real-time. Our sustainable approach empowers creatives to remain adaptive, resilient, and deeply inspired, preparing them to thrive in today’s evolving creative economy. Ready to see what’s next?

The Role of Learning Pathways in Building Sustainable Creative Economies 🌍 Africa’s creative economy is filled with untapped potential. But without structured learning pathways that guide our talent from aspiring creatives to globally competitive professionals, much of that potential risks going unrealized.

Empowering Africa's Future: The Role of Tech Education in Transforming Young Minds In today’s rapidly evolving tech world, Africa finds itself at a critical juncture. The future success of our continent depends on our ability to equip young people with the right skills, mindsets, and opportunities to participate in the global tech ecosystem. This is where initiatives like TECH DAD come into play, shaping not just the leaders of tomorrow, but the innovators, creators, and problem-solvers the world will come to rely on. TECH DAD, a pioneering tech camp for boys aged 6 to 15, aims to bridge the gap between exposure and mastery. With programs tailored for beginners, intermediates, and advanced learners, we're fostering a peer-driven learning environment that resonates deeply with the youth. As my own sons, Dante and Jason, teach and learn alongside their peers, I’m reminded daily of the untapped potential within our young minds. Our focus is clear—leveraging technology to build confidence, instill curiosity, and ignite a passion for innovation. We are not only training boys to understand and use technology but also helping them become contributors to the digital economy. From creating simple games to mastering animation, our camp equips young boys with the tools they need to succeed in a tech-driven world. But why is this important? Because Africa's future is digital, and it is imperative that we prepare our youth to not only consume technology but to create it. The TECH DAD initiative is about giving them the skills, networks, and vision to dream beyond borders, achieve their goals, and discover new paths in life. Our focus on upskilling Africa’s youth ties directly into my broader mission at Get Global by TeleSoftas—to connect African talent with global opportunities, driving sustainable economic growth. Through these initiatives, we are playing our part in ensuring that Africa is not left behind in the global tech race. We are preparing a generation that will thrive in the face of technological advancement, and the ripple effect will be felt across industries, communities, and the world at large. Now is the time to invest in Africa’s youth. Let’s embrace the power of technology to transform, uplift, and secure a brighter future for the next generation. #EmpowerAfrica #TechEducation #TechForGood #FutureReady #GetGlobal #YouthInTech #TECHDAD #SPEL #Africa
