On International Women’s Day, we ask our Aga Khan Academies community how they choose to challenge gender bias and inequity.

Sweni Hamid’s Personal Project captures the dreams of teenagers in six digital artworks.  Sweni sees dreaming as an activity which helps us to imagine outlandish scenarios; helping us develop into people who can handle even the most bizarre situations. This is what grabbed her attention and created the focus which became the central theme of this fascinating project. 

Amongst 300 participants, Grade 9 student Shashini Bommala from the Aga Khan Academy Hyderabad was recognised as the best Junior CEO through an international entrepreneurial course.

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science from the Aga Khan Academy Maputo!

Through the creation of this magazine for their CAS project, six students hoped to take the first step in creating a space that is conducive to intellectual discourse among students. A magazine that does not just report, but tears down ambiguity, challenges power, and acknowledges bias. One that engages with that you already know, but pushes you to know more.
