Education
We deliver training and educational projects, as well as coaching and mentoring sessions, that enable our beneficiaries to use education as a tool for personal and collective improvement.
Our ongoing and recent projects in the areas of education include:
- Hope After Covid
- Youth Innovation Fellowship Programme
- Elevate
Hope After Covid Project
PCAP won the King’s College Civic Challenge for 2020-2021 for its Hope After Covid project that uses traditional African wellness techniques to support local people to overcome the negative effects of COVID-19.
Following intensive outreach campaigns, PCAP was able to enrol 55 people from Lambeth, Southwark, Wandsworth and Westminster and enable them to overcome the negative impact of COVID-19 on their lives, using tools including music, visualisation and breathing exercises.
