Mirror House Academy

Pure reflections.

Do you know that almost 3 million people seek admission to tetiary institutions every year in Nigeria? And less than 25% percent gets admitted? Also, of few art institutions in Nigeria, 80% are located at the West? The Mirror House (a film and arts) academy has been absorbing and training creatives in Performing Arts, Communication Arts and Film; teaching knowledge and raising entrepreneurs.

I wish to create a system where creatives can access the needed education at ALL levels of formal education. Also a system where the graduants begin practicing in their different fields while in school, get exposed and engaged to real markets, provide solutions to real life problems (in their respective fields) as educational projects.

About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

I discovered a lot of persons around me had inert abilities and great prospects, but the conventional education system and curriculums had a way of inhibiting them. I needed to create a fair educational platform that favored creatives.
The educational system and curriculum are too conventional and less applicable. We have very few formal arts institutions in Southern Nigeria.

What does your innovation look like in practice?

Mirror House is poised at producing graduants who will be employers of labour. We are providing pupose and ends driven eduational services through a combination of methods, curriculums and tech.

We use the continous project method where our students are continually endeavoring to solve a societal challenge in their fields and thus get very verse with the market before the end of their program. We provide them with the needed tools and equipments to handle these projects, equip them also with leadership qualities and team work.

We affiliate with relevant organizations to create a network and platform for exhibition of products and skills. This 'sell' off creatives, create employments and also generate funds for the scholarship programs.

How has it been spreading?

Over the past years we have raised over a hundred Cinematographers, Presenters, Music Composers, Creative Writers, etc

We have offered training programs to Secondary Schools, Tertiary institutions and other organizations. Through our continuous project method, our products are already entrepreneurs in the making, with good exposure, experiences and skills.

We have already begun the process of providing live online classes, and in 2 years we would have integrated the in-app learning. This will provide services to those restricted by location and time.

We're already processing with relevant bodies to get the necessary certifications to provide Diploma - Degree certificates to our students on relevant course completion.

We'll also provide hostel facilities to students to enhance learning.

If I want to try it, what should I do?

To adopt these solutions,
1. Consider the target consumer and their abilities (and disabilities)
2. Consider the Sustainable Development Goals
3. Make education a top priority
4. Get vested with the necessary knowledge and skills
5. You can also contact the Mirror House Film and Arts Academy, (c/o the Construction and Fabrication Academy of West Africa) #1 Bishop Moynagh Avenue, State Housing, Cal
