Across Jamaica, but mainly in the Kingston area, creative workshop series are being held in schools, churches and communities. The series which is a tool to empowering the creative mind of youth, is being put on by OAaSIS International Foundation in partnership with members of the creative industry.
OAaSIS visits high schools with the focus on the CXC curriculum, especially assisting with research papers on Jamaican artists, during the creative workshop series tour.
OaaSIS sensitises youth at the basic and primary level with workshops and more on physical visits.
OAaSIS seeks your input with products or funding in our creative workshop series, and/or physical input as motivator or co-ordinator for project/ workshop
The Foundation and its projects is fully endorsed by the Ministry of Education. Click here
The series is the first project during the first operational phase of the Foundation mainly concerned with sensitising especially Jamaicans about “The Critical Role and Impact of the Arts.”
Targeting youth between 0-25 years, the first one held at the Allman Town Primary from January 13 – 22, 2010, was impacting with presenters from both the creative industry and other fields.
