On Thursday, December 3, 2015, students and staff of Creative Minds International Academy, with support from Youth Groups of Global Network for Rights and Development (YGGNRD-Nigeria), conducted a SPORTS/WALK FOR PEACE Event.
Two Hundred and Fifty Six (256) students walked through the streets of Jos, singing peace songs and dancing and distributing flyers and handbills as they went. The Walk started from the School temporary site in Dadin Kowa and terminated at the Permanent Site at Rantya, with sporting activities, including football and volley ball.
Founded in September 2007, Creative Minds International Academy is a Jos, Nigeria-based model coeducational school empowering students with tools for critical thinking to investigate information and inter-connectedness of all life, and then make wise decisions for sustainable relationships with each other and with Earth herself.
Constantly importing tools from international educators and innovators, we are exercising great courage to add leading-edge ways to learn and to dignify each other —girls and boys — building true school community in a safe, spiritual atmosphere. Our contemporary curriculum highlights personal creativity and discovery of one’s own talents and abilities. Idealism and high principles are what work in real life, so self-discipline on such daily decisions are building a new breed of participatory young citizens at our school.
