Many of us have smart phones which we are using at most 20% of the features and not necessarily for our greater good and the greater good of our communities.

For many of us our smart phones are costs centers – cost of purchase and cost of maintenance – charging, sim card, internet connection, data, protection, and more.

Many of us could do from learning how to fully utilize our smart phones for our greater good, individually and for the greater good of our communities.

As in transforming our smart phones from being cost centers to income generation centers; while at the same time causing there to be positive impact in our communities.

And to use our smart phones for the noble cause of contributing to decolonizing narratives about Uganda.

We could better use our smart phones to populate online spaces with positive ‘untold narratives’ about Uganda and that are people centered.

For example, the histories of all the first nations of Uganda – the 55 named in the Constitution of Uganda.

First Nations of Uganda

Case in point, who are the Mening, the Nyangia, the Kuku, the Vonoma of Uganda? Which geography of Uganda do they claim as their home?

How many Ugandans identify as belonging to the Vonoma? What was and is their way of life?

There is surely an appetite for the histories and cultures of the first nations of Uganda; among Ugandans, among other Africans and among the rest of the world.

The reason we, at CPAR Uganda, are excited with the opportunities that our Media Training will bring.

With a legacy grant via Canadian Physicians for Aid and Relief, this month, will mark the start of our media training program. Read more about it here.

Deadline for applications is 10th October 2025,
