Exhibition: Muriyan Yaran Lake Chad

‘Muriyan Yaran Lake Chad’ or ‘The voices of the children of Lake Chad’ is an exhibition of photographs taken by children and young people living in the conflict and crisis context of the Lake Chad region.

This exhibition will bring together Network partners from four nations in the Lake Chad region (Nigeria, Niger, Chad, and Cameroon) to showcase the locally generated outputs from the Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) networking project A ‘hidden’ crisis-in-crises: a transformative agenda ‘Boko-haram and education’ to an international audience.

The event will offer critical reflection on the potential of participatory photography in facilitating the participation of young people living in protracted conflict and crisis settings in decision-making around the issues that directly affect their lives.

The exhibition is open to the public, policymakers, researchers, arts practitioners, organisations, and individuals with an interest in children and young people’s education in protracted conflict and crisis contexts.

This networking and knowledge exchange event will allow participants the opportunity to explore possible collaborations for broader and more extensive projects around educational interventions for conflict transformation.

To visit the exhibition, register on Eventbrite.

A ‘hidden’ crisis-in-crises: a transformative agenda ‘Boko-haram and education’ is a project housed within the OU’s Centre for the Study of Global Development, and is aligned to the Learners and Learning hub, which researches the learning that takes place in schools, informal and community settings and its impact on children, young people and educators.
