Project Pluralism is an initiative by Diploma Programme 2 student, Rayyan Khan, whose objective is to forge connections between students of diverse backgrounds, bring attention to prevalent social issues and develop plans of action to address them.

AKA Mombasa Visual Arts teacher Donna Scott recently asked Year 6 students to express their feelings about the COVID-19 pandemic using art. Students were required to use the six elements of art – lines, value, space, shape, texture and colour – as their expressive tools.

‘FUTURE IS HUMAN’ is an initiative by Year 10 student Muskaan Kassam for her personal project that aims to promote gender equality through art.

On 13 November 2020, the Year 10s hosted a virtual mock exhibition of their personal projects to showcase their projects with teachers and get feedback as they prepare for the main exhibition happening on 5 February 2021, which will mark the culmination of the Middle Years Programme.

During the summer break, the Aga Khan Academies and the Aga Khan Development Network partner up to provide internship opportunities for students in the Diploma Programme. Due to COVID-19, the internships took place virtually giving students an opportunity to intern at various institutions around the world.
