The Learners’ Den Dyslexia Educational Foundation Kaduna has hosted the 2025 edition of its Creative Revolution Camp, bringing together dozens of teenagers and young adults for a celebration of art, technology, and neurodiversity.
Founder and COO, Asma’u Yusuf, a dyslexia interventionist and literacy specialist, welcomed guests, parents, caregivers, and learners with an inspiring speech.
“Approximately 15–20% of the population has a language-based learning difficulty, with dyslexia being the most common. That means 1 in 5 individuals will struggle with reading, writing, and spelling—challenges that often affect academic performance, self-esteem, and future opportunities,” Yusuf said.
“At The Den, we understand these struggles. For the past four years, we have worked with over 765 learners, and I’m proud to say that 79% of them have been successfully remediated and transitioned into mainstream schools. Each story represents resilience, courage, and the right support at the right time,” she added.
She also unveiled the MVP of The Den’s new learning app, designed to personalise education for children with dyslexia and other learning differences. “This event, Colours of Inclusion, is not only about dyslexia—it is about celebrating all forms of neurodiversity,” Yusuf noted.
The camp featured a Painting Studio led by professionals, creative and tech sessions, and refreshments provided by Halima Jibrin Aminu of The Blind Kitchen Creations, whose skills despite visual impairment drew admiration from attendees.
Parents, caregivers, and stakeholders attended in large numbers, reinforcing the message of inclusion.
One highlight of the camp was the story of Farid Bello, an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) learner who discovered a passion for doodling, cartoons, and animals. His sketches were compiled into a comic book, Comic Chaos, later enhanced by renowned cartoonist Mustapha Bulama and published by The Learners’ Den.
“Today is about confidence-building,” Yusuf concluded. “It is about showing our learners that their uniqueness is not a limitation but a strength. It is about art, creativity, technology, and community coming together to say: you belong, you are seen, and you can thrive.”
