At Orkeeswa, 6th graders learn to become storytellers through photography, filmmaking, podcasting, journalism, and research. Students explore how different forms of media help them ask questions, investigate ideas, and share stories that matter.

Through Story Lab, students develop the skills to research, think critically, communicate creatively, collaborate, and use their voices to tell meaningful stories about the world around them.

A group of Orkeeswa students participated in the Olasite Youth Race Challenge in Arusha, putting into practice the cycling skills they had developed during training at school.

For many of our students, the race was an opportunity to test themselves in a new environment. They had to prepare physically, stay focused during the race, manage the demands of cycling, and support one another along the way.

At Orkeeswa, learning happens beyond the classroom. Through clubs, sports, and activities, our students explore their interests, build confidence, and discover new possibilities.

“As I became more confident in expressing myself through music, I got the opportunity to participate in Story Lab, where we get to tell our own stories through photography, journalism, podcasts, and filmmaking. Building on the storytelling skills I had developed in hip hop, I decided to create a short film about families who celebrate children who do well academically while overlooking those gifted in the arts. The story reflects my own experience growing up. In my family, success was often associated with education, while artistic talent received far less recognition. Through the film, I want to challenge the idea that academic achievement is the only path to success and encourage people to value different kinds of talent, ” Salim, 8th grader.

Bariki brings his experience back to Orkeeswa, turning his own journey into a practical learning opportunity for students.
