On a momentous day for collaborative global initiatives, representatives of the UNESCO Chairs gathered at Strathmore University, Nairobi, for a pivotal consultative meeting. The agenda focused on formulating a joint proposal for funding and defining the way forward in advancing UNESCO's objectives.

Representing Kabarak University’s UNESCO Chair in Culture and Arts in Education were Dr. Diana Munyao, the UNESCO Chair Coordinator, and Dr. Jean Zigama, the Research Coordinator. Their participation underscored Kabarak University’s commitment to fostering innovation and cultural integration in addressing global challenges.

Beyond the discussions on funding proposals, the representatives joined the Action on Climate Empowerment workshop. This initiative aligns seamlessly with Kabarak University's ethos of integrating culture, arts, and education to empower communities across Kenya and Eastern Africa. By weaving creativity and cultural understanding into educational frameworks, the Kabarak UNESCO Chair equips communities to tackle global challenges with innovative, locally-driven solutions.

The Chair’s work actively contributes to Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education), ensuring inclusive, equitable, and transformative education opportunities that inspire a brighter, more sustainable future. Through these efforts, Kabarak University continues to lead in shaping how societies approach sustainability, leaving a lasting impact both locally and globally.

Together, the collaboration between UNESCO Chairs promises innovative strides toward achieving sustainable development goals, fostering a network of partnerships that can drive meaningful change across the world.
