Voluntary work in Karamoja Uganda – I checked a long existing bucket list item…. a trip to Uganda. What an experience this was! This truly is ‘the pearl of Africa’…
I did voluntary work in Karamoja, a remote region in Northeast Uganda with amazing authentic cultural experiences. The local tribes have a basic way of living, enriched with fascinating ceremonies.
I coached Kara-Tunga in team-effectiveness. Together we worked on the (ABN AMRO) feedback challenge program, thinking outside the box, values, convincing skills, sharing opinions and ideas, making action plans. And yes, we also had a lot of fun together!
The Kara-Tunga team made me feel at home every minute of my stay! A warm welcome with traditional clothing and dancing, unforgettable tours in Karamoja, a relaxed restaurant for nice conversations, reading a book or preparing for a next team session.
My creativity was challenged in facilitating team sessions outdoors without all the gear that we are so used to (laptop, powerpoint, beamers, meeting room, etc). Instead, I made paper flipovers (my once attended workshop ‘business drawing’ came in very handy now?) and was creative with the limited available materials. I loved every minute of it!
Thanks Theo Vos for adding Uganda as a very special memory in my passion to travel.
Regional Tourism Stakeholder workshop launching Karamoja Tourism Academy. The meeting was organised by ENABEL and Kara-Tunga / EyeOpenerWorks and took place 14th March 2019 in Leslona Hotel in Moroto. During the meeting we launched the Tourism Coordination Platform and The Karamoja Tourism Academy.
Since our beginnings, we have been blessed to collaborate with photographer, story teller and guide Marcus Westberg. His passion for the remote and unknown made us engage in a long-term commitment to cover Uganda’s best kept secret: Karamoja.
Warrior Nomad trail promoting cultural tourism Uganda – The Kingdom of The Netherlands in collaboration with Dutch/Ugandan tourism stakeholders have launched a three-year project aimed at increasing the tourist arrivals to Uganda by diversifying the tourism products with the focus on soft-adventure and cultural tourism.
Tour of Karamoja was a fantastic adventure that combines a tough physical challenge with an off the beaten track adventure in less visited Karamoja Northeast Uganda.
