THE CHALLENGELearning deserves
Learning deserves
to travel further.
Across Nigeria, Voice-funded organisations were championing participation, inclusion and social justice. Their experiences offered lessons that could be valuable to other organisations, communities and programme partners.
The Linking & Learning work created opportunities to connect organisations, facilitate exchange and document what they were discovering. Making those lessons visible through thoughtful writing, film and photography was an important part of the process.
