United Kingdom Uganda Network Society and Culture "Children have the right to leisure, play and participation in cultural and artistic activities" In most communities traditions are passed on from one generation to the next. This may be by the way certain events are celebrated or special clothes that are worn, or special food that is eaten on certain occasions or songs that are sung. This can be part of our culture and it may be something a whole nation identifies with or something only a small group celebrate. It is often very important to people's lives. Independence Day Make some of the musical instruments described in this book, make some tribal masks and celebrate Uganda Independence Day (9th October). Make some Ugandan food or celebrate with monkey nuts and Pepsi or coke. With your Beaver Scouts celebrate a custom from your local community. This may be a particular way of celebrating a national event or a special custom relating to the past and the traditions in your community. Remember to tell the Beaver Scouts what it all means! Religion Religion plays a very important role in the lives of the people in Uganda. About 65% of the population are Christians, divided mostly between the Catholic and Protestant denominations but there are also Orthodox Christians. About 30% are Muslim and the remainder are Hindus, Sikhs or belong to other religions.

Uganda Culture Uganda's population is made up of a complex and diverse range of tribes. Lake Kyoga forms the northern boundary for the Bantu-speaking peoples, who dominate much of east, central and southern Africa. In Uganda they include the Buganda and several other tribes. In the north live the Lango and the Acholi, who speak Nilotic languages. To the east are the Teso and Karamojong, who are related to the Maasai and who also speak Nilotic languages. Pygmies live in the forests of the west. Each tribe has its musical history; songs are passed down from generation to generation. Ndigindi (lyre), entongoli (harp), amadinda (xylophone) and lukeme (thumb piano) are commonly played instruments. An Acholi, Okot p'Bitek, is one of Uganda's most famous writers of folklore, satirical poems and songs. His book Song of Lawino (1966) describes the stories told in Acholi songs. While about two-thirds of the population is Christian, the remaining third still practises animism or follows Islam. There were sizeable numbers of Sikhs and Hindus in the country until Asians were expelled in 1972, although many are now returning following an invitation from the president.

WHAT'S NEW Upcoming Events Publications Announcements ... Employment Understanding the History Appreciating the Culture Journal Entry #3 October 27, 2003 I have been learning a lot about Uganda in these past six weeks. I have been reading the local and national papers, socializing with my new Ugandan friends, exploring the country, eating the local food, participating in local practices such as going to the market for food, taking the local transportation, and attending a cultural performance. All of these activities have helped me to adapt to my new environment and to gain a deeper understanding of Uganda's values. This is one of the cultural events I attended, a group of orphans singing and dancing at the source of the Nile. I realized that in order to be effective and satisfied while working and living here, I also needed to also understand Uganda's history to appreciate the culture. Like many African countries, Uganda's history is marked with colonialism, civil war, political unrest, and the emergence of many infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS. The British missionaries came to Uganda to convert the spiritual beliefs of the people - which were based on animism, a belief in the power of the natural world - to ones based on Christianity.

Their heritage lives on in the hearts of the people, their traditional dress, languages, dances and customs. The largest cultural group are the Baganda people, whose kingdom has always been influential in Ugandan affairs.

Executive Constitution Parliament Ministries ... Home PEOPLE of Uganda Uganda is a country of many contrasts. The forbidding mountains act as a foil to the softer meadows and broad savannah, while the dry uplands contrast with the swamplands of the lake shores. The contrasts between the various peoples of Uganda reflect this variety of surroundings and are demonstrated in the multiplicity of cultures traditions and lifestyles. Uganda has been created by the union of many peoples. Ancient people with their own traditional lands, their own customs and a way of life inherited from their ancestors. They now live together as one people. Today we are all proud to be Ugandans, while we cherish the memory of our history and keep alive the tradition of our ancestors. Many of these traditions are colourful ceremonies which remind us of events in the past or celebrate seasons of the year. Spontaneous dancing and music are typical of life in Uganda. Several of the villages welcome visitors to their ceremonies, but it always wise to ask before bringing out your camera. The Imbalu dancers, at the mass initiation ceremonies of the Bagisu boys are particularly exciting while if you are near Masindi, the Runyege dance is an unforgettable experience.

It was founded in 1986 when the country was emerging from 15 years of political and economic turmoil. Its goal was to conserve and promote the rich musical, choreographic and poetic traditions of the many varied cultures that make Uganda a microcosm of Africa. Education has from the beginning been at the foundation of the troupe's strategy. Apart from using performance to promote awareness and appreciation about the cultures of Uganda, the troupe offers music, dance and drama courses to students and the general public and workshops to teachers. In a significant development, the Troupe has turned their performing art skills towards educating the millions of illiterate Ugandans living in ignorance and poverty. Today Ndere Troupe boasts of a mature tightly knit and highly professional company who have performed in Kenya, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Denmark and Canada besides reaching all corners of Uganda in an effort to share their art with Ugandans and the world.

The Cultural Contexts of Ebola in Northern Uganda A Preliminary Report 15 March 2001 Barry S. Hewlett Washington State University Vancouver, WA 98686 USA hewlett@vancouver.wsu.edu INTRODUCTION This report describes preliminary findings of a social-behavioral-cultural study of EHF in Gulu,, Uganda. To my knowledge it is the first behavioral study of EHF and the first time a behavioral scientist has participated in a WHO-directed international response team to EHF. The recent special issue on Ebola in The Journal of Infectious Diseases does not have one article on the behavioral aspects of the disease, but WHO technical guidelines for responding to EHF state: Those conducting epidemiological surveillance must be instructed on how to administer surveys for accurate information and how to ensure the proper information and education of and co-operation from, case household members and the affected community. Special attention must be given to the actual perception of the outbreak by the community. In particular, specific cultural elements and local beliefs must be taken into account to ensure proper messages, confidence, and close co-operation of the community. Given the lack of previous research and an interest by WHO in these issues, the research aimed to: 1) describe local explanatory models of EHF; 2) better understand behavioral topics of concern to WHO (i.e., burial practices, fear of patients to seek treatment at the hospital, the role of traditional healers in disease transmission); and, 3) identify local and international beliefs and practices that enhanced or were detrimental to the control of EBF.

Senteza Kajubi, Professor of Education; Principal, Institute of Teacher Education, Kyambogo (1991) Contents Education for Democratic Citizenship Conclusion Education for Democratic Citizenship The education system of the country can be a powerful tool in nurturing the type of society that the country would like to produce. Unfortunately, in Uganda we have not yet deliberately addressed the curriculum to this important task. We have taught the facts of history, geography, civics, economics and even religious education for their own intrinsic sake rather than as a basis for making moral, social, political and economic judgments required of reflective, competent, and concerned citizens. Love of freedom and liberty, love of country, dissent toleration, an abhorrence of injustice, belief in majority rule and devotion to human rights are not qualities that can be transmitted incidentally and unthinkingly to students, they have to be deliberately taught and learned as they are questioned, thought about, criticized, practiced and improved. Our education systems must be conceived in terms of the society we want to build and the civic values we would like to promote. In a pluralistic society such as ours there is bound to be a continuing tension, and even overt conflict between the values of

100. Heritage At Risk 2002-2003: Uganda Decline in cultural practices specific examples from uganda. The AIDS epidemic in uganda has caused a decline in the importance http://www.international.icomos.org/risk/2002/uganda2002.htm

H@R! : Heritage at Risk 2002-2003 UGANDA Cultural Implications of the HIV/AIDS Epidemic and the Need to Preserve Our Oral Traditions* HIV/AIDS is the most serious health problem in Uganda today and the leading cause of death for adults. About 1.5 million people are estimated to be infected with the HIV virus (Uganda AIDS Commission Secretariat, Uganda National Operational Plan for HIV/AIDS/STD Prevention, Care and Support 1994-1998). Nearly 80% of those infected are between the ages of 15 and 45. Statistics reveal that sixteen African countries south of the Sahara have more than one-tenth of the adult population aged 15-49 infected with HIV. Oral traditions refer to that knowledge which is transmitted orally over several generations in a given society. They may be in the form of riddles, songs, proverbs, legends, folktales and recitations, which constitute the intangible heritage. These traditions are a means of teaching societal values and beliefs, and are, therefore, integral to the culture of a particular society. Clearly, culture is transmitted from generation to generation. In the case of Uganda, it is not so much the generation that possesses oral traditions that is endangered. Rather it is the generation onto whom the elderly would pass the information that is at risk. With this endangered generation (15-45 year olds), a generation gap is created that poses a future threat. In other words, this endangered generation is getting wiped out and this causes a discontinuity in the transmission of their societies' traditions to later generations.
