Campaign Ready

Activities that can grow into WSW moments

WSW Uganda 2026 can plug into these same year-round formats, scaling the strongest ones into national campaign moments from October 4-10.

Space clubs and student branches can adopt activity formats.

Partners can sponsor equipment, venues, transport, or mentors.

Schools and universities can host outreach days and visits.

Organisers can turn strong formats into national WSW sessions.
