The Hub seeks to take a creative, collaborative and participatory approach to tackling these issues. We harness the power of digital arts for change – through awareness raising, documentation, storytelling and skills development.
Working to foster a community of young people in Lesotho who are skilled, inspired, motivated and socially conscious.
The only initiative of its kind in Lesotho, The Hub is a creative technology lab that seeks to take a creative, collaborative and participatory approach to raising awareness and seeking solutions to social issues.
