Our mission is to design and deliver accessible, practical, and high-quality training in 21st Century skills for students, professionals, and institutions across Africa.

By connecting skills to real work, ethical leadership, and personal growth, Writers Guild Kenya equips people to build sustainable careers, live fulfilled lives, and contribute to thriving communities and the common good.
Our Story
Writers Guild Kenya began in 2014 as a simple but powerful idea. A group of students at Kenyatta University, led by Gabriel Dinda, came together with a shared belief: that writing, reading, and storytelling have the power to shape individuals, preserve culture, and transform society. What started as a small student-led initiative quickly grew into a vibrant national community of writers, readers, and learners.
Over the years, we have trained thousands of members, supported emerging and published writers, worked with schools and institutions, and championed lifelong learning across Kenya.
Our Values
Love and Service
We hold love as the foundation and measure of all that we do—understood not as sentiment, but as a deliberate commitment of heart, mind, and will toward God and toward others.
Human Dignity and Purpose
We affirm the inherent dignity of every person and the meaningfulness of human work. Each individual is more than a means to an end...
Community and Solidarity
We believe that people grow best in a relationship with others. We cultivate a learning community grounded in mutual respect, trust, and shared responsibility...
Care for the Individual
We recognise that each person’s path is unique, shaped by different contexts, capacities, and aspirations. Our approach is guided by attentiveness, patience, and respect...
Growth Through Experience — Keep Trying
We understand learning as a lifelong process shaped by effort, reflection, and perseverance. Growth often emerges through uncertainty, failure, and repeated attempts, not instant success.
Lifelong Learning
We are committed to fostering habits of reading, writing, thinking, and reflection as foundations for personal freedom and social responsibility. Learning does not end with formal education; it remains an enduring practice...
Ethical Practice
We hold ourselves to the highest standards of integrity, responsibility, and care in our writing, teaching, and publishing. Truthfulness, fairness, and respect guide our work, alongside a deep sense of accountability to people...
Care for the Environment
We recognise our responsibility to care for the natural world as a shared home entrusted to all. Environmental care is inseparable from concern for human dignity, justice, and future generations.

FAQs
Why are “21st Century skills” such a big deal anyway?
Because jobs change faster than job titles. Global future-of-work reports show that how you think, communicate, and adapt matters more than what degree you hold. These skills cut across all careers, and they stay useful for life.
What do you mean by Critical Thinking (and can it really be taught)?
Yes—critical thinking isn’t magic. It’s learning how to question information, analyse situations, make sound decisions, and solve real problems. UNESCO identifies it as essential for work, citizenship, and lifelong learning—and we teach it practically, not theoretically.
