Mai - September 2022

Kyaninga Child Development Center KCDC, Uganda
The NGO KCDC provides the urgently needed therapies for disabled children. At the location in western Uganda, children and their families are successfully supported through medical treatment and education, enabling them to lead a dignified and independent life.

The goal of KCDC is to build an inclusive school with the pedagogical vision of experimental and cooperative learning on the grounds of the therapy facilities. The question was how to create an adequate environment for this vision and how special forms of learning can be promoted through suitable spaces. This resulted in the actual task for the design studio: the Kyaninga Inclusive Model School, KIMS.

„Die Tatsache dass einer der Studierenden aus Uganda stammt und noch vor seiner Reise die NGO besuchen konnte, bereicherte den Entwurfsprozess.“
