We are excited to announce a new educational partnership with Dutch Noorderpoort College to strengthen our capacity in Karamoja regional tourism development through skilling.
Therefore we launched The Karamoja Tourism Academy in 2018. Up to now we happily graduated 45 students in basics in hospitality tour guiding. Today we are proudly announcing a long-term partnership with Noorderpoort College from The Netherlands. They are one of the most respected colleges in the country, offering secondary technical and vocational education including tourism and hospitality.
Together we will develop and test tourism and hospitality-related courses to equip the local community with the skills to benefit from the increasing regional tourism sector.
The Karamoja Tourism Academy Brian and co-facilitator Peter are visiting the students of the Tourism and Hospitality training (Ukarimu Academy) in Eastern Uganda. The students have concluded 3 months of internship at their workplace and are about to start their exchange internship at a different hotel.
Ban plastic bags for tourism in Karamoja: During World Earth Day on April 22nd, we went out to clean the streets of our municipal in Moroto town and the trails on Mount Moroto to raise awareness and launch our principles for Responsible Tourism in Karamoja.
Trail mapping on Mount Moroto – One of our goals is preservation of cultural heritage through tourism and therefore we are working hand in hand with the elders as gatekeepers and the youth to document, manage and share.
