UNESCO is supporting training of young people on how to develop mobile applications for traditional games in Kenya. This training aims at providing young people with requisite skills for developing mobile applications on local traditional games found in Kenya. This will help preserve and disseminate information about traditional games and promote indigenous and local knowledge for learning, development and the rapprochement of cultures.

During the training, participants will be taken through the following: how to design mobile applications, basics of Java programming language, how to use Android studio in developing an android application, how to connect android mobile applications to databases, and how to publish and run an android application on an android phone.

This activity is organized within the framework of the Memory of the World Programme and of the Recommendation for the Safeguarding and Preservation of Moving Images. Traditional sports and games are a means to convey values of solidarity, diversity, fair play, inclusion, and cultural awareness. They create bridges across generations, between the elderly and the young people who are key actors and partners to contribute to cultural awareness and inter-generational learning.
