<p class="wp-block-paragraph">SINA has grown far beyond what I could have imagined when we started in Uganda in 2014.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Today, the Social Innovation Academy is a growing ecosystem of SINA Communities, young changemakers, refugee-led and youth-led social enterprises, and local solutions emerging from lived experience.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many people have asked how they can stay updated in a world where social media gets flooded these days by AI generated content and it is harder and harder to be seen. So we have started the <strong>SINA Newsletter</strong>. It will go out quarterly and share:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">– stories from SINA scholars and founders<br>– updates from new SINA Communities<br>– milestones from across the ecosystem<br>– opportunities to engage, partner, mentor, or support</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first edition is now open for subscription. If you would like to follow the journey more closely, you can subscribe here </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It started with a partnership of SINA and <a href="https://www.circuszambia.org/" type="link" id="https://www.circuszambia.org/">Circus Zambia,</a> a social enterprise offering unique entertainment while equipping young people from marginalized backgrounds with circus and life skills. Three youth were identified and supported by a German entrepreneur couple to spend 6 months in Uganda from June  to December 2025 to go through the <a href="http://www.socialinnovationacademy.org/playbook">SINA Framework</a> and the <a href="https://socialinnovationacademy.org/replicating-sina/">Changemaker-Maker Journey</a>. This allowed the team to experience the power of SINA first hand and be trained on how to pay it forward.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">An experienced SINA Nomad, Confidence Akampurira, who already supported the startup phase of SINA in Nigeria in 2025, joined on ground in January. The initial pioneer scholars started the first personal development phase of the SINA Framework yesterday. We are grateful for the support of the Lufthansa <a href="https://www.helpalliance.org/">help alliance</a> and the <a href="https://lb-foundation.ch/en" type="link" id="https://lb-foundation.ch/en">Leopold Bachmann Foundation</a> for the support, making this possible.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The youth will now go through three months of deep personal development, self-discovery, and mindset shift. During this phase, they will work on overcoming limiting beliefs, building confidence, identifying their purpose, and strengthening the character and inner foundation needed to become changemakers. From there, they will gradually step into practical roles within the new SINA Community, take responsibility for real tasks, learn by doing, and co-create a self-organized learning space together. Over time, they will develop the skills, experiences, and ownership needed to support other young people locally and to turn challenges in their communities into solutions and social enterprises, which create jobs also for others.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We bring together 8 &#8211; 10 early-stage social enterprises from different SINA communities (from Uganda and other African countries). Each enterprise already has a clear social or environmental problem they solve and a working solution. The bootcamp is the week where the enterprise accelerates and scales its impact. Teams work hands-on through business diagnostics, financial forecasting, business model design and lots of practical and fun activities. It all ends with a final pitch vent to an external panel of judges.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Dates and flow</strong></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Location: <a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/HRvVoPe4VdCjTpz4A">Mpigi</a>, Uganda at our main SINA Community “Jangu International”</li>



<li>Arrival: Sunday, June 14 (anytime), the airport is “Entebbe”, 90 minutes from Mpigi</li>



<li>Bootcamp:  June 15 (8:30 am start) to Friday 19 June (full days)</li>



<li>Saturday/ Sunday June 20 -21: departure or optional visits nearby: e.g. established SINA enterprises, the Equator, primary forest, birdwatching on Lake Victoria</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Your role as an international participant</strong><br>You’re in the team. You help with customer conversations, shaping the offer, prototyping, testing pricing, doing the uncomfortable learning loops, and supporting the team to move fast. Evenings are informal and relational, the days are very practical.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We’re aiming for 8 internationals with diverse backgrounds and skills, one per enterprise team, so spots are limited.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A new academic paper, <em>Beyond Boundaries: Exploring Design through Place-Based Learning</em>, has been published in the Learn X Design 2025 conference series of the Design Research Society. Written by Azeem Hamid of the Estonian Academy of Arts and Umar Hameed of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, the paper reflects on a cross-cultural learning project developed in partnership with SINA in Uganda.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The paper looks at how place-based and experiential learning can support creative problem-solving, collaboration across cultures, and the development of social innovation projects. It also reflects honestly on challenges such as communication across contexts and complex group dynamics, which makes it a thoughtful contribution to the wider conversation on design education and learning in real-world settings.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The paper is based on a longer collaboration that brought design students from Pakistan to Uganda in two early phases, first in December 2017 and then again from June to July 2018, each time with a new group of students learning alongside SINA scholars in Mpigi. A third phase followed in 2019 at SINA, this time bringing together students from Pakistan and Nigeria, which gave the project a broader cross-cultural dimension and helped shape the reflections presented in the paper.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">HundrED published a new article today about why young people need hope and real control over their own education, and that is exactly the conversation SINA has been part of for years. What matters to us in this article gets to the core of what young people actually need. Too often, education still happens around them and for them, but not with them. At SINA, the starting point is different. Scholars shape the community they are part of. They take &#8220;freesponsibility&#8221;. They learn by doing. They discover what matters to them and build from there.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That changes something deep. A young person who has been told to wait, to fit in, or to lower their expectations begins to see that they can create work, lead others, and solve real problems in their community. That is where hope becomes concrete and shaping a prosperous future. Across 23 SINA Communities, young people from disadvantaged backgrounds have gone on to build more than 130 social enterprises and create over 2,000 jobs. Those numbers matter, but they are only part of the story. What they really point to is a different way of learning, one that treats young people as capable from the beginning and finding their purpose in line and taking action to live out the purpose, regardless if they start their own social enterprise or not.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We are grateful to HundrED for recognizing <a href="https://hundred.org/en/innovations/6-sina-social-innovation-academy">SINA also under the Global 100 Collection of 2026</a> and for helping bring more attention to education models that trust youth with real ownership.</p>

Over the last few weeks, Corporate Rebels published two deep dives into SINA that go beyond buzzwords to show what &#8220;real responsibility&#8221; looks like in practice at SINA.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.corporate-rebels.com/blog/animated-video-how-sina-works">The first piece</a> centres on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzRUgvjvI94&amp;feature=youtu.be">a new animated video</a> that explains the SINA ecosystem in under 5 minutes.</p>



<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dzRUgvjvI94?si=3CtdMfjU0LYgK_EQ" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In <a href="https://www.corporate-rebels.com/blog/the-five-development-stages-to-make-self-management-thrive">the second article</a>, Corporate Rebels break down the five development stages that take a scholar from feeling totally disoriented to becoming a confident social entrepreneur.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At the heart of it stands <strong>&#8220;<a href="https://socialinnovationacademy.org/freesponsibility/">freesponsibility.</a>&#8220;</strong> The idea that freedom doesn&#8217;t exist in a vacuum, it only grows as fast as your willingness to take responsibility. The big takeaway from both pieces is that self-management isn&#8217;t just about &#8220;letting go&#8221; and hoping for the best. It requires a very intentional design in which freedom and consequences go hand in hand. If you&#8217;ve ever wondered how these models actually survive the messy reality of daily work, these are well worth a read.</p>
