On Saturday 17 February the African Cultural and Development Association along side the Urban Pilots Network and the Princess Movie Theatres hosted a movie and fun day for its youth arm in commemoration of African History Month. The movie day allowed over sixty (60) young African Guyanese to appreciate the contributions made by their ancestors across history and throughout the world. The youth were inspired to aspire higher as they progress through life and overcome adversity much like their predecessors. The African History month movie day was a continuation of the ACDA-UPN Aviation Camp which is funded by the Ministry of Education’s Youth Innovation Program grant. It began in December 2017 and focused on imparting technical skills in young Guyanese as it pertains to Science, Technology, Engineering and Math particularly within the Aviation sector. The program aims to empower young people with the necessary technical skill so that they can assume the jobs of the future which are essential to building a good life for all Guyanese.

Our Story

The ACDA-UPN Youth Aviation Camp is primarily dedicated to stimulating the minds of young African Guyanese through the application of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (S.T.E.M) across the varying facets of the aviation sector. As global economies expand there is a greater need for the movement of goods, services and people. To fulfill this, demand the Boeing corporation through its technical outlook survey estimates the need for over two million new aviation personnel which includes pilots, aircraft mechanics, cabin crew, air traffic controllers, and a multitude of other professions within the sector by 2035. Guyana due to its new hydrocarbon wealth and projected national expansion plans will require a significant percentage of the projected skilled workers in the aviation sector to ensure the country can expand and grow efficiently to be competitive in a global market. Meeting this demand will require innovative solutions — focused on educational outreach and career pipeline programs — to inspire the next generation of pilots, technicians, and cabin crew. This is where our program comes into focus. The ACDA-UPN Aviation Camp will introduce young people to aviation, impart basic skills on an introductory level through experiential teaching by current aviation professionals. This will in our opinion spark a greater desire to pursue a career in aviation or a technical field ensuring that Guyana will have ample supply of capable, enthusiastic, young minds to help build a vast, safe and competitive national airline and technical jobs network which will be integral in the establishment of a national commerce market. In short, the ACDA-UPN Aviation Camp aims to be proactive in recognising the demands of Guyana as a nation and preparing for it through training and mentorship of young Guyanese. ACDA-UPN challenges youth to be, “The Engineers of the World They Want to Live In!”
