About Competition

“Kurandza: a learning center in Mozambique” competition is calling for proposals to design a new learning center for the NGO Kurandza. Kurandza is focused on making sure that girls and women in their community are able to finish their studies and don’t have to drop out of school early. 

The program of the new learning center will be similar to that of a regular school. The goal of this competition is to create spaces that are flexible and can change their function if necessary.

The new learning center will have three classrooms, a kitchen, a multipurpose room, a childcare room, an office, a storage room and a bathroom. Outside, the learning center will contain an area for sports and outdoor activities, a space for a playground for the girls to play, which will encourage them to engage in physical activities.

The site is located in the town of Chivonguene, Mozambique. It has a rectangular shape of 35 x 60 meters. The main access to the plot comes from a road located at the Southern side of it.
The plot has 6 built structures, some of them are abandoned and others are being used. Participants can remove them or reuse some of them in the proposals.
