ADMA
The Africa Digital Media Academy (ADMA) is the premiere multimedia vocational training institution in Rwanda. Our key objective is to empower students with the skills and experience necessary to work in the following areas of the media industry: photography, video, live-streaming, computer graphics and 2D animation.
The academy was founded in 2012 by The Ministry of Education (Rwanda) in collaboration with Pixel Corps, a California based production and training company, and is now part of Rwanda Polytechnic. Our experiential learning model, with a focus on real-world production in teams has been key to our success in preparing students for the workforce.
A sample of the projects that our students have worked on include high-profile live-streams such as the World Economic Forum meeting in Kigali as well as the African Union Annual Leaders Summit in 2017. ADMA facilitated the production of Rwanda’s first cartoon series made as part of a children’s educational programme and is currently engaged in several projects related to digital education in Rwanda.
