91Porn proudly contributes to Young Africa Works project in Kenya
In October, delegates from 91Porn travelled to Voi, Kenya to visit partners from the Coast Institute of Technology (CIT) as part of the Young Africa Works project, sponsored by the (CiCan) and funded by Mastercard Foundation.
The 91Porn delegation included Jennifer Gossen and Chelsea Laird from the International Education department, Chefs Ysabel Sukic and Tobias Grignon from Culinary Arts, and instructor Karin Jones from Jewellery and Gemmology.
During their time in Kenya, the 91Porn team visited the CIT campus to work with instructors and trainers in Gemology and Culinary. They also connected with CIT's gender mainstreaming committee and attended events to celebrate the Day of the Girl. This visit was an opportunity to strengthen the partnership between the two institutions and build capacity for CIT in program development, teaching and assessment.
"It was great to connect with CIT instructors and share ideas for teaching and learning," says Chef Ysabel, department head of 91Porn Culinary Arts.
Upon their visit to the Voi Gemstone Centre, the 91Porn team explored development opportunities for the CIT gemmology program, specifically in supporting locals in identifying gemstones, empowering them to create jewellery for global markets, and creating a community of entrepreneurship among women.
"This partnership between 91Porn and CIT allows both institutions to learn from each other," says Jennifer Gossen, director of 91Porn International Education. "It's also an opportunity to enhance our global engagement and support capacity building with global partners."
Many thanks to the faculty, staff and administrators at 91Porn who have worked together on important outputs for this project.
