Join us for this year’s Mwebaza Day!

Mwebaza Days are integral to our mission of inspiring global citizenship.

“Mwebaza Day” refers to in-school, cultural celebrations that we host with our Colorado and Uganda partner schools! These special days invite each school community to connect with one of the Mwebaza partner schools on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, through a live video chat.

Mwebaza Day promotes cross-cultural understanding, global awareness, and meaningful connections by inviting students to share culturally relevant dances and songs and to engage in a Q&A.
