African Dance in the Park, Jun. 1 2019 @ Nairobi Arboretum Park

by with No Comment danceevents


Move, reconnect, reground, build community, rethink money and value, and have fun this Madaraka Day with a PAY WHAT YOU DECIDE (PWYD) African dance class at the Nairobi Arboretum. Live drumming, and dance with Wangũi.

Pay what you decide? Yes, pay what you decide. The capitalist economy runs on upside down (and oppressive) allocations of what is valuable and what is not – and many times ignores and puts down the truly valuable things in life. So this PWYD class asks you to decide how much value you ascribe to moving, dancing, and reconnecting with culture, your body, and others. Madaraka means self-rule. What will you do with the freedom to think and hopefully rethink what has value?

Bottom line – come dance and enjoy yourself.

Where: Nairobi Arboretum Park
When: 1st June 2019. 11 am – 1 pm
Cost: Pay What You Decide (PWYD)

Note that the Arboretum charges a 50/= entrance fee payable by MPESA only

Lecture: Electronic Waste-The Unforeseen Menace in Kenya, Jun. 30 2011 @ Nairobi Arboretum

by with One Comment lectures & readings

Date: June 30, 2011
Venue: Tree Centre, Nairobi Arboretum
Time: 5.30-6.30pm
Charges: Students/FONA/Nature Kenya Members Free, Non-members Kshs 100
Contacts: fona@naturekenya.com or 0727 300 933

Speaker: Professor Ratemo Michieka (Professor of Weed Science & Environmental Pollution, U.o.N)

Increasing heaps of unwanted and poorly disposed electronic products such as refrigerators, computers, mobile phones, television sets, all contain harmful or toxic substances that, if not well managed, present serious adverse impacts on the environment and human health. Is Kenya in a position to handle the growing heaps resulting from digital revolution, lifestyle changes all arriving in the country?

Knowledge is power and the people must be educated and be made aware that the use of electronics may eventually turn against them and the future generations, if strongest measures and policies are not put in place to control trade and disposal of E-waste.

The speaker will highlight the magnitude of the current and future impact of E-waste in Kenya.
