Apr 24, 2023 Posted by: George Romar China, Hong Kong, Jerry Li, SDG 10, SDG 4

Jerry: Happy to cruise with you, Spiffy! At INCIPE, there are a few challenges we would like to solve. For starters, the majority of programming courses only promote passive learning, with no margin for understanding, brainstorming, or unleashing students’ creativity. Moreover, designs for educational kits are generally dull and difficult for students to apply to their daily lives.

Niall Guite: Challenging Perceptions through Art and Inclusion

Apr 18, 2023 Posted by: George Romar England, Niall Guite, SDG 10, SDG 3, Sheffield, UK

Niall: Glad to chat with you, Spiffy! Through my work, I aim to challenge society's perception of people with an intellectual disability. I started drawing images of football stadiums during the global pandemic to raise funds for Special Olympics Great Britain (SOGB) and found that I had engaged lots of people with my art. The idea for setting up a social enterprise came as a collaboration between myself and SOGB. This not only gave me the opportunity to work and earn money as an artist, but also to give voice to people like myself who are not seen as capable. People assume a lot about me without talking to me and getting to know who I really am. My business allows me to interact with lots of different people through social media with opportunities to challenge perceptions in a positive way.
