On World Youth Skills Day, we’re celebrating the power of movement-based creative activities in equipping young people with skills that support their social-emotional and economic livelihoods. That can start with dance.

Let us dare to dream that war is not the only story we pass on. Because in the end, it takes community to bring back the light. What an emotive performance! Thank you @mindleaps for that! 🙌🥳 #Ubumuntu2025 #UbumuntuArtsFestival

Eleder attends a deaf school, she was a shy girl who didn’t smile until she was encouraged to join a dance group run by our partners @mindleaps and supported by @ComicRelief to help with her confidence. With the dance group, she has now gained the confidence to smile again😊 💃🏿

It’s a wrap! In Rwanda, our team concluded an enrichment program with 10 days of training to refresh the skills of our youth trainers in Mugombwa Refugee Camp. These trainers work with 60 children to build their social-emotional learning skills through movement and dance.

Back to School! Most students in Guinea will start the new academic year in October, but some of our kids are studying at Harounaya, the English immersion school. These MindLeaps children gathered together with their parents to receive their school supplies at our Center.

GUINEA is (unsurprisingly) JUMPING! Summer continues in Conakry before the new academic year starts in October. MindLeaps students are starting to learn acrobatics in addition to mastering their dance skills and reviewing their academic subjects. #dance #jump #learn #guinea
