Anzania - Eco-park & museum for young changemakers in Kenya

A S T O R Y O F T R A N S F O R M A T I O N

WELCOME TO ANZANIA

Over the next years, a major learning destination and visitor attraction will be developed in Nairobi.

Anzania is taking a bold new approach to engaging young people with some of the most critical issues of our time. It will redefine the museum landscape of Kenya with a vision and mission to appeal to today’s and tomorrow’s audiences.

With its inspiring transformation story, iconic building, and advanced exhibit design Anzania aims to become a world-class destination for the understanding, appreciation, and protection of nature. But also demonstrate how cultural institutions can contribute to a culture of sustainability.

Anzania will be an important destination for Nairobi and support its visitors in forging a deeper and more caring connection to the place they call home and the species they share it with. It will foster understanding of biodiversity and encourage environmental stewardship.

MASTERPLAN

This master plan sets out the strategic vision for Anzania, our eco-park and kids' museum for Nairobi.

Not only will we be the first of its kind in East Africa but we are also the only visitors' attraction on the continent wholly dedicated to our planetary health.

We take our visitors on a journey of transformation. Showing children and adults alike that despite adversity, our relationship with nature can be restored. And that everyone, no matter how small, can be a changemaker.

The vision for Anzania has been created including a wide range of input and strategies. This includes Kenya's Vision 2030, Nairobi City's Climate Action Plan as well as the Kenyan Institute of Curriculum Education Framework.

Various stakeholders, including environmental organizations, experienced conservationists, and scientists were consulted to advise us on content and to help define our learning goals.

We present this masterplan with guidance and input from our partners including BuildX for the design vision, and NorthernLight for the exhibit journey.

We are lucky to have a formidable Board and Advisory Council who we have come to rely on for guidance and support.

INTRODUCTION; OUR WHY

Kenya is at the forefront of our global triple environmental crisis (climate, pollution, loss of biodiversity).

Despite its low contribution to greenhouse gas emissions, Kenya is already experiencing a disproportionate impact from increasing temperatures, rising sea levels to changing rainfall patterns and extreme weather. Various animal species are at risk of extinction.

With a growing consensus that the youth voice must be included in planetary stakeholder debates, there is a need to have inclusive conversations about our environmental crisis in public spaces, accessible to all.

Moreover, we need instill children with hope that not all is lost yet, and help them find the courage to lead the way. We can show them that everyone, no matter ho changemaker.

By empowering the youth, we empower a na

START WITH PURPOSE

Anza is a Swahili word that means “To Start” and Nia means “Purpose” — a description of the changemaker that we hope will visit our green exploratorium.

The word is also a nod to Azania an ancient Greek name for South Eastern Africa, a name that also carries has historic connotations in reference to African independence and autonomy.

The name Anzania signals an utopian and magical land where kids can learn to create a sustainable environment for their future.

WHAT ANZANIA OFFERS

Anzania is a place for young eco-changemakers to discover and embrace their transformative powers.

Nelson Mandela famously said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” But if young people are to be stewards of climate action and conservation, we need novel ways and new places to strengthen their understanding of what is happening to our planet and show them how they can get involved.

With age appropriate, inspiring, and engaging environment and climate change education it is possible to bring these topics to life.

Our mission is to educate, engage and empower children in environmental challenges. Our exploratory gardens and interactive exhibits stimulate their natural curiosity and creativity. With nearly 2000m2 of exhibit area, botanicals gardens, and various playgrounds our young visitors can learn about and connect with our wondrous planet.

We create lasting memories that foster sustainable behaviour.

CHANGE STARTS WITH KNOWLEDGE

The need to educate children about our environmental challenges is no longer in doubt. Education on climate change, be it formal or informal, is now a key recommendation for various intergovernmental agencies.

Some countries have already incorporated Climate Change into the national curriculum. In Kenya, the curriculum includes 'Education for Sustainable Development'.

Anzania will offer a unique extracurricular learning e perience for kids at primary school age. We align with bjectives of the national curriculum as s Vision 2030.

VISION

Anzania will be an interactive, in, and outdoor experience all about our planet, our environment and living sustainably. It is a m and edu create m experien sustaina

FOCUS ON CHILDREN

To make any lasting change in the envir prospects of Kenya -and the world for t need to engage the youth.

Children are the true protagonist of our crisis.

The ‘Friday for Future’ campaign has sh there is a voice for the young in the cur that children can be drivers of change.

Anzania will be a place for teachers and parents to take children to learn in a age appropriate way about the environmental challenges or world faces, and to show them ways in which they can help restore our planetary balance.

The overriding message will be how each child, no matter how small, can make a positive difference to the world.

INTRODUCTION > FOCUS ON CHILDREN

OUR APPROACH

For children, play is the vehicle for exploring and learning, developing new skills, and connecting with others.

Scientists that study brain development have found concrete evidence that there is genuine power in play. Play can not be dismissed as “just fun,” it is a vital activity for children to learn about and interact with their world. Play supports children to gain the mental, physical and social skills necessary to succeed in their adult lives.

At Anzania, through self-directed play, children can follow their interests, explore the unknown, link outcomes with choices, conquer fears as well as make new friends. Our play based exhibits will stimulate children's natural curiosity and creativity.

Children will go on a journey along the different themed pavilions, exploring environmental topics like biodiversity loss and climate change.

TOUCH HEARTS

Through guided workshops we support children t discover ways in which they can invent and build solutions that contribute to change. We demonst hands on that nobody is too small to be a change

In our outdoor areas and various playscapes children (re)connect with nature. We let children explore and experience fun outdoor spaces, infusing them with the love for the outdoors.

THE STORY WE TEL

This is a story about the dramatic ef This is a story about the vulnerability and resilance of Kenyan nature

This is a story about inspiration and possibility; you can be a change-maker.

By letting children explore and learn through play we take them on a journey of our planet, environment as well as our various ecological challenges. We show them how everything on our planet is interconnected - even them!

Personal Stories about people, not facts. Ordinary people who did extraordinary things.

Using displays and replicas of ancient visitors can reflect on the past, times where humans respected and admired nature and its wonders.

This way our outdoor areas will be as thoughtprovoking as our indoor exhibit areas.

PARTNER HIGHLIGHT

Twenty years ago, Eden Project transformed a chin clay pit in Cornwall into what is now often referre as the 8th wonder of the world, with the largest greenhouses on earth.

This visitor destination, cultural venue and global garden showcase our dependence on plants and demonstrate technological ingenuity and the regeneration of landscapes and livelihoods.

Eden Projects's global mission is to create a movement that builds relationships between people and the natural world to demonstrate the power of working together for the benefit of all living things.

Today Eden is a growing movement, working on and developing projects nationally and internationally.

Anzania would represent Eden's first steps on the African continent.

DESIGN VISION

Mathematics is all around us, and can be found everywhere in nature. As we discover more about our environment we see that nature can be described mathematically. The beauty of a flower, the majesty of a tree, or even the rocks we walk on can exhibit natures sense of symmetry. Our natural environment is filled with geometric shapes, symmetry, spirals, fractals and radials.

Our building design found its inspiration in the mystifying magic of math in nat h infrastructure serves not just a but is an exhibit in itself.

ECOSYSTEM UNDER A CANOPY

With a modular design, different topics will be presented in separate structures. These themed pavilions interconnect with walkways and paths. Our story is not linear, and children can explore the themes in different sequences. This makes Anzania a unique experience for everyone and a different experience with each repeat visit.

With this, our museum is not simply positioned in nature, but rather nature is part of our design scheme. We weave ourselves between the elements, reflecting in our architectural language how we are interconnected to our environment.

Our structures are as important as the spaces in between.

The pavilions are placed under a green canopy, the space we occupy on the ground, we return to back to nature on our roofs. A symbolic representation of a b relationship with nature.

SUSTAINBILITY

.........Energy systems have been decarbonized. . We see a vibrant environment full of healthy forests, thriving wetlands, and bountiful grassland, teeming with rich biodiversity.

Through many actions large and small we show that we can live in a healthier and cleaner world. People everywhere understand that their actions matter. Children and young people have made their voices be heard and demanded that all people and communities play their part. They recognise that a changing climate impacts us all and the things we love. When we all come together we can create a resilient future for the next generation. But this is not the future....

Welcome to Anzania

SUSTAINABILITY AS A VALUE

In Anzania we do everything consciously and with purpose. Sustainability is ingrained into every fiber of our existence. We look through a sustainability lens for all our decisions and actions. From the way in which we use the land, and the materials we build with, to the environmental impact of our ticketing system, our vendor selection as well as our waste management methods.

Anzania commits to continuously reviewing how well we are doing in terms of our ecological footprint.

Every year our Green Team will publish a sustainability report. The publicly available report will demonstrates our willingness to scrutinize our actions and to welcome new ideas that help us improve.

OUR MANIFESTO

Anzania is a place but its also a move greater than the sum of its parts.

Sustainability is a journey, not a des not perfect. But we continuously str We recognize that it's not always ea too.

We believe that every action counts g Each of us, no matter how old you are, where you are from, the language you speak, the colour of your skin, if you like wearing blue or pink or yellow... All of us, can make a difference.
