No fewer than 150 pupils from underserved communities in Lagos State will receive free vocational and creative skills training as the Nest of Dreams Children’s Foundation launches its SkillNest Technicals Summer Programme 2026 on Monday, August 3.
The four-week holiday boot camp is designed to equip children with practical skills, creative abilities and early entrepreneurial knowledge, providing an alternative learning opportunity during the long school vacation.
The programme will expose participants to a six-pillar curriculum covering applied crafts, creative arts and practical trades. Training modules include bead making, eco-friendly paper bag production, music, dance, painting and introductory cooking, delivered through eight interactive sessions over four weeks.
Founder of the foundation, Opeyemi Kotun, said the initiative was conceived to complement classroom education by equipping children with practical life skills that promote self-reliance and creativity.
“While classroom education remains crucial, a child’s path to self-reliance requires practical skills, confidence and creative outlets.
