The organization organizes lectures, debates and different trainings for youth and children to acquire life skills and explore/discover their talents as well as inspiring/motivate new ones in arts as an effective tool for a better social well-being.

                          ARTISTIC EDUCATION

 They provide multiple opportunities for schools to view each other’s dramatic works. Their aims are to sharpen and develop students’ skills in oral language and all expressive mechanisms, developing the intellectual skills and we strongly encourage group-level cooperation, arts integrated learning, acculturation, school community relations and develop recreational outlets for the future. They thus provide a significant training ground for students and teachers in dramatic arts. Their work strongly intends at promoting at arts integration in an educational setting by encouraging performance based learning.

                          COMMUNITY OUTREACH

This is a program whereby INGERI ARTS reaches its targeted populace (community) to empower communities listening to their concerns and encouraging them to voice and solve their own problem accordingly. We sensitize communities to government programs and share life experiences with them through community theatre, theatre for development and other various entertainments creating a good societal environment with effective social communication. Community outreach also emphasizes on the development procedures that may take the people out of poverty towards a sustainable well-being especially children and youth by doing what they like doing and creating different income generating activities to improve lives. Our focus is: arts and crafts, music and Theatre. This is a program through which we create societal profitable initiatives (SPI) as well as contributing to the well-being and development of the population.
