Hula Nation is expanding into global terrains, inspiring, and being inspired to create shifting change.
In February 2020 Hula Nation returned to Uganda to implement and expand the capacity to do impactful work to support the dreams of rural Ugandan people, especially the women and children through art and movement workshops. Our objective was to create 100 dreamcatcher making kits and macrame art for purpose on developing skills in craft-making to strengthen economic opportunities for local Ugandan women and families through ongoing workshops and skills training sessions.
