Core values

At the heart of our mission lies our unwavering commitment to promoting Africa’s development by catalysing mindset change. We believe cultural production is a critical element in achieving sustainable human development, and we strive to build a solid foundation of theory around this notion. By challenging colonial influences in formal education and embracing Africa’s rich indigenous knowledge, we hope to restore the African aesthetic and deliver the mindware that Africa needs to rise above its problems. OCE believes in fostering epistemic disobedience, nurturing creativity, and promoting mindset transformation through innovation and epistemic disobedience, pursuing continuous improvement and sustained endurance to impact our socio-economic timeline significantly. Join us in this meaningful journey towards a more vibrant and inclusive Africa.
