Red Rocks offers a range of cultural activities, including music and dance performances, traditional cooking classes, and guided tours of local villages and markets.

One of their most popular activities is their arts and crafts programme, which offers training and employment opportunities for Rwandan women and youth.

The arts and crafts programme at Red Rocks Cultural Campsite focuses on traditional Rwandan crafts such as basket weaving, pottery, and beadwork.

The programme provides training in these skills, as well as business and marketing skills, to help participants turn their crafts into a sustainable source of income.

In addition to providing employment opportunities, the programme also helps to preserve traditional Rwandan crafts and promote cultural heritage.

Rwandan women and youth in focus

One of the key benefits of the arts and crafts programme at Red Rocks Cultural Campsite is its focus on empowering Rwandan women and youth.

In Rwanda, as in many other countries, women and youth are often marginalised and face limited opportunities for education and employment.

By providing training and employment opportunities in the arts and crafts sector, Red Rocks Cultural Campsite is helping to empower Rwandan women and youth and provide them with a pathway to economic independence.

The programme has had a significant impact on the lives of the participants.

For example, one of the women who participated in the programme was able to use her earnings from selling her crafts to pay for her children’s education. Another participant was able to start her own business selling her vegetables at a local market.

These success stories demonstrate the transformative power of the arts and crafts programme at Red Rocks Cultural Campsite.

Guests can also get hands on with Rwandan culture and traditions at Red Rocks Cultural Campsite. Travellers’ visits and interactions help empower Rwandan women and youth.

In addition to providing economic opportunities, the arts and crafts programme also has educational and social benefits.

Participants learn traditional crafts and techniques, which helps to preserve cultural heritage and promote intergenerational learning.

The programme also provides a social space where women and youth can come together to share ideas and support each other.

It’s a powerful way to effect social change. By using arts and crafts as a tool for learning and economic opportunity, Red Rocks is helping to break the cycle of poverty and marginalisation that many Rwandan women and youth face.

The success of the programme demonstrates the transformative power of the arts and crafts sector and the importance of investing in women and youth empowerment.
