UGATRA
...stands for "Uganda Austria Transfer", which is an art education project for secondary school pupils co-developed and co-executed between Art students/graduates from the Margaret Trowell School for Industrial and Fine Arts at the Makerere University in Kampala/Uganda and from the University of Applied Arts in Vienna/Austria. The objective of UGATRA is to initiate and support an exchange between different cultures and age groups which should help to get to know and understand each other better, to learn from each other and to get inspired by each other through art workshops in the field of Textile/Animation/Computer. Eventually UGATRA will show the results of the workshops at a presentation venue and a subsequent exhibition.
