Our Programs

The Literary Renaissance Foundation actively campaigns against the devaluation of intelligence in Nigeria and works to be the catalysts for the emergence of a new generation of thought-leaders and influencers, who love books and learning, across all sectors.

We would like to visit schools to talk on the value and importance of reading. We may start with schools where we have book clubs and gradually reach out to others. Reading as a culture can be easier achieved through the support of our schools.

This project serves a dual-function; the first is to present the classical works of William Shakespeare in modern, easy-to-read-and-enjoy style. The second is to engage students in our tertiary institutions as the developers of these works. 

Here is how it will work: a selection of 12 of Shakespeare’s plays is presented to participants who are required to pick, read, and rewrite the plays as prose and as modern-day pieces. The winners will have their stories published, in addition to other prizes.

A 3-day event of fun, enlightenment, reading, and engaging with like minds. The book fest will have the regular exhibitions by publishers and other book sellers. It will also have a symposium or two. Then there will be a literary fair where individuals can come dressed as their favourite fictional characters. Vendors and Exhibitors will not be left behind as each event will have a theme which will determine how stalls, exhibition stands, and the venue will be decorated.

Our target here will be the Secondary School Students. Students are encouraged to read 16 great works of literature before they turn 16. As they read, they will also be challenged to open a journal documenting their thoughts, feelings, opinions on each work and upload some of these on a dedicated platform. We will also encourage them to add multi-media files to their uploads like photos, drawings, audio and video recordings.
