The original programme (with one edition in 2020, one in 2021, and one in 2022) was modified due to the emergency caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, but the implementation of three editions of the DUOS Festival became an integral part of the cultural and artistic events in Kilifi and Mombasa. The UNIMC team organized the first and second edition in 2021, and the third edition in 2023.   

The Kid’s Session aim was to involve kids, families, schools, and communities in meaningful creative and artistic experiences. The team organized mixed groups of researchers, artists, teachers, social educators, university students, and volunteers from local associations in order to develop educational activities and artistic workshops for kids and schools.   

The project offered children and adolescents spaces for creative expression in which artistic languages became mediators of community learning. They had the opportunity to play with their imagination, discover new materials, colours, languages, and learning by doing.   

The cooperative approach was also developed through the use of local materials and the discovery of the territory as a space to be known and explored.   

The proposal of the three editions of the Kid’s Session, while changing the topic, was supported by an ‘edutainment’ approach in which the participants were the protagonists of the experience.
